Football at Far Eastern Championship Games was the only major international football competition in Asia pre-World War II. It was contested by China, Japan and the Philippines, with the Dutch East Indies joining the last edition of the tournament in 1934.

Although the Philippines won the first tournament, China achieved nine consecutive victories from the second tournament to the tenth tournament. In the 9th tournament, Japan and China lined up side by side, but due to discussions between the two sides, it was decided that no rematch would be held, and both teams were treated as winners.
