The Story of Asian Cycling Confederation (ACC)

The story of the Asian Cycling Confederation (ACC) begins in 1962, when cycling leaders from across Asia came together to form the Asian Cycling Federation (ACF). It was established as a non-profit organization to bring together national cycling federations from the region and to promote the sport of cycling across Asia.

For several decades, the ACF provided a platform for collaboration among Asian countries, organizing competitions and coordinating with the international cycling community. However, as the sport evolved and international standards became more structured under the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), after the unification of International Amateur Cycling Federation (FIAC) & International Professional Cycling Federation (FICP), there was a need to formalize and strengthen the continental body for Asia.

In response to this, the organization underwent a significant change. On 31st March 1993, during a meeting held in Ipoh, Malaysia, the Asian Cycling Federation officially changed its name to the Asian Cycling Confederation (ACC). This rebranding reflected a more unified and organized approach, aligning with the model used by other continental confederations under the UCI.

Since then, the ACC has continued to grow and develop. It has played an active role in organizing the Asian Cycling Championships and supporting the development of the sport in member countries. It works closely with the UCI on athlete development, coaching, officiating, and the promotion of various cycling disciplines, including road, track, BMX, mountain biking, and para-cycling.

As of 2025, the ACC represents 45 national cycling federations across Asia. Its headquarters remains in Ipoh, Malaysia, where it continues to support the growth of cycling at both the elite and grassroots levels.

The ACC remains committed to its mission of strengthening cycling in Asia through cooperation, development programs, and international engagement.
