Notes
- A. a b c d e For clarity, years given in the winners' list do not necessarily correspond to the years when matches were actually played. The finals were always held between the African Champions' Cup winners from the earlier calendar year (given year minus 1) and the Asian Champions' Cup winners who won the title in the previous season (given year minus 1/given year), e.g. the inaugural 1986 final was held between 1985 African Champions' Cup winners FAR Rabat and the 1985–86 Asian Club Championship winners Daewoo Royals. However, FIFA designates at least some of these titles according to the year when the final matches were held.[1][2]
- B. ^ Korean club Busan IPark were known as Daewoo Royals until 2000.
- C. JEF United Ichihara Chibawere founded as Furukawa Electric Soccer Club until 1991.
- D. ^ Japanese club Tokyo Verdy were called Yomiuri FC from their foundation in 1969 until 1993.
