The Asian Canoe Pole Championships is the top Asian canoe pole event for national teams, managed by the Asian Canoe Confederation (ACC). [1] [2] [3]
Its history dates back to 1985, when the first Asian Championships were held in Japan, at that time only in the men's category. It was not until the 8th Asian Championships in China in 1999 that a women's tournament was organized in addition to the men's category. The championships are held every 2 years. In the men's category, the tournament is dominated by teams from East Asia, and in the women's category, by the Iranian team.
The championships also serve as a continental qualification for the World Championships or the canoe polo tournament at the World Games.
