2022 Copa Apollonia

The Copa Apollonia (also known as the AEFA Championships) is the international continental association football competition for the AEFA confederation.

The tournament was first contested in 2012, and there have been seven tournaments so far.

Qualification

Until 2014's FMF restructuring, the FMF World Cup qualification tournaments served as qualification for the Copa Apollonia. Since then, the AEFA has organised its own qualifying rounds for the tournament, with both the year's host nation and the previous winners receiving automatic qualification.
