AFC ushers in 2025 with unveiling of new brand identity

Kuala Lumpur: The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has heralded 2025 by signalling the start of a brand new era today with the unveiling of a new logo and identity to reflect and reinforce the continued trajectory of the Confederation’s progress and rising standards in the coming years.

This latest milestone marks the Confederation’s first logo evolution in more than 23 years and only the second time in history that the AFC corporate brand has transformed following the introduction of its ‘shield’ logo shortly after its formation in 1954, which was subsequently updated in 2001.
