The 2013 AFC President's Cup was the ninth edition of the AFC President's Cup, a football competition organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for clubs from "emerging countries" in Asia.[1] Istiqlol were the defending champions, but did not enter the tournament as teams from Tajikistan no longer entered the AFC President's Cup. In the final, Balkan of Turkmenistan defeated KRL of Pakistan 1–0 and became the first team from Turkmenistan to win the AFC President's Cup.[2]

Teams
The AFC laid out the procedure for deciding the participating associations, with the final decision to be made by the AFC in November 2012.[3] The following changes to the list of participating associations may be made from the 2012 AFC President's Cup if the AFC approved the following applications made by any association:
- An association originally participating in the AFC President's Cup may apply to participate in the 2013 AFC Cup.
- An association originally not participating in any AFC club competitions may apply to participate in the 2013 AFC President's Cup.
The following changes in the participating associations were made compared to the previous year:
- Philippine clubs' participation in the AFC President's Cup starting from 2013 was approved by the AFC.[4]
- Tajikistan clubs' participation was upgraded from the AFC President's Cup to the AFC Cup starting from 2013 by the AFC.[5]
Each participating association was given one entry. The following teams entered the competition.
Schedule
The schedule of the competition was as follows.[6]
- Group stage: 2–12 May 2013
- Final stage: 23–29 September 2013
Group stage
The draw for the group stage was held on 19 March 2013, 15:00 UTC+8, at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[7] The twelve teams were drawn into three groups of four. Each group was played on a single round-robin basis at a centralized venue, with Cambodia, Nepal, and the Philippines selected by the AFC to host the groups. The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the final stage.

- Greater number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned
- Goal difference in all the group matches
- Greater number of goals scored in all the group matches
- Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are involved and they are both on the field of play
- Fewer score calculated according to the number of yellow and red cards received in the group matches (1 point for a single yellow card, 3 points for a red card as a consequence of two yellow cards, 3 points for a direct red card, 4 points for a yellow card followed by a direct red card)
