The 2011 AFC President's Cup was the seventh edition of the AFC President's Cup, a football competition organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for clubs from "emerging countries" in Asia.
Teams from 12 member associations competed.[1] In the qualifying stage, the 12 teams were divided into three groups of four teams each, and the top two teams from each group qualified for the six-team finals to be played at a centralised venue.[2] In the final stage, the qualified six teams were divided into two groups of three teams each. The winners from each group met in the final for the title.[3]
