The 2010 WAFF Championship was the 6th edition of the West Asian Football Federation Championship, an international tournament for selected West Asian countries and territories. It was hosted by Jordan, after Lebanon was deemed not capable of hosting.[1] The competition was eventually won for the first time by Kuwait, after beating the three-time defending champions, Iran.
