The 2007 AFC Cup was the fourth edition of the AFC Cup, played amongst clubs from nations of the AFC, who are considered to be 'developing countries' as per the 'Vision Asia' members paper of AFC President Mohamed Bin Hammam.
Shabab Al-Ordon defeated two time defending champions Al-Faisaly 2–1 on aggregate to claim their first AFC Cup title, and a third consecutive victory by a Jordanian team.
The competition was dominated by Jordanian teams, with three of the four semi-finalists coming from that nation: Shabab Al-Ordon, Al-Faisaly and Al-Wehdat.
Qualification
The AFC invited the thirteen 'developing' nations to nominate one or two clubs to participate in the competition. As this was the first season in which clubs from Australia participated in Asian club competitions and were awarded two qualification places in the AFC Champions League, the following changes were made:
- The second ranked team from Thailand (Osotsapa) and Vietnam (Hoa Phat Hanoi) were reassigned from the AFC Champions League to the AFC Cup.
- Bangladesh were excluded from the competition, as its clubs would now participate in the AFC President's Cup.
As defending champions Al-Faisaly had already qualified for the competition due to their cup performance, Jordan was awarded an additional qualification berth.
Clubs from Myanmar and North Korea did not participate in the competition. This marked the first year in which clubs from Thailand and Vietnam participated in the competition.
The draw for the group stage took place in Kuala Lumpur on 22 December 2006, allocating teams into six groups of four.
