In 2000, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan founded the Confederation in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, despite Asian players having won only two championships to this moment. The first championship was held in Nebit Dag, Turkmenistan, followed by the second edition of the tournament in 1999, in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
Until 2007, all championships were only for one age category, specifically men (open), including the championships held in Mongolia (2001) and India (2003). In Chandigarh city, India, almost all South Asian countries participated in the tournament, namely India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, along with Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan. In 2007, Uzbekistan hosted the Youth Championship for the first time.
In 2010, the female category started its presence in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Female players from China, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan competed in Asia for the first time.
Since 2012, all age categories have been officially entered into the championship programme. The Confederation established the system for all tournaments for U8, U11, U14, U17, U20, and Open age categories once a year at the same time. The championships were held in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Bangkok (Thailand), Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia), Tashkent (Uzbekistan), and Xintai, Shandong (China), with a minimum of around 200 players. The format of the Asian championship is similar to the Olympic Games, with International-100, Russian and Brazilian-64, and Turkish draughts events, all featuring time controls of classic (4 hours per game), rapid (20 minutes per game), and blitz (10 minutes per game).
The reigning Asian champions won the last championship in Tashkent in 2024. ADC will select the host city for the 2026 edition before the end of 2025.
As of 2025, the Confederation has 30 member federations; among them, 12 countries are full members, and the remaining 14 countries are candidate members (they have participated in Asian championships at least once).
The Confederation is a continental body of the FMJD (World Draughts Federation) for the development of draughts sports on the Asian continent.
