The '''Asian-African Alliance''', or "A-Pack" as very well known in Hattrick, is an international competition between [[countries]] from both continents. The original tournament consisted of eight teams: [[Malaysia]], [[China]], [[Singapore]], [[India]], [[Prathet Thai|Thailand]], [[Hanguk|South Korea]], [[Nippon|Japan]], South Africa.
 
[[Misr|Egypt]] entered in the first edition for NT and the following season [[Indonesia]] and [[Pilipinas]] became the 10th and 11th members before the inclusion of [[Hong Kong]] and [[Chinese Taipei|Taiwan]] that completed the historical core.


The '''Asian-African Alliance''', or well-known as '''A-Pack''' in Hattrick, started in 23/01/2002.
Other countries added over the years, reaching a total of 19: [[Al Maghrib|Algeria]], [[Sakartvelo|Georgia]], [[Iran]], [[Israel]], [[Al Urdun|Jordan]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kenya]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], [[Nigeria]], [[Pakistan]], [[Rossiya|Russia]], [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Tounes|Tunisia]], [[United Arab Emirates|UAE]], [[Việt Nam|Vietnam]] and [[Oceania]].


It was started by the manager of Malaysia's RY FC, Strong, together with ngsc78 of Phantom. The idea came upon when both the managers had decided to host a competitions among their clubs and those from other Asian & African nations. The original A-Pack Tournament was to be an eight-teams two-leagues game with the top two winners advanced to the Semi-Final, it doesn't seems to be turned out that way after two of the teams pulled-out, causing the structure to be changed with Group A continuing the League format whereas two replacement teams were roped in to play a Cup knocked-out style in Group B. However, the event managed to be successfully completed with both China representatives winning the League & Cup events, and advanced to play the A-Pack Champions' Cup.

The completion of the Tournament had spurred the Organizer to continue the events, with a fair structure such as limiting the number of clubs from a nation, the grouping and has been practising the 'no-seeding' formula. The following season tournament sees the continuing of having two events with both League & Cup being expanded to accomodate 16 teams each, and this time, the Singaporean clubs flexed their muscle and make it a clean sweep.

Started with only 9 teams (China, India, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, South Africa & Egypt), both the events were being hosted in a single league format, with India & Egypt J20 bagging the respective titles. The following season, Indonesia & Pilipinas became the 10th & 11th members of A-Pack before the inclusion Hong Kong & Taiwan the season after to make the total number to 13 as at present.
