The '''Colombo Cup''' was an annual football tournament first held in [[Colombo]], [[Ceylon]]. It was also known as '''Asian Quadrangular Football Tournament'''. Established in 1952 by the Ceylon Football Association as a part of the Colombo Fair, teams from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) and Burma played each other in a round robin tournament. The tournament was last played in 1955. In 1953 it was hosted in [[Rangoon]], [[Burma]], in 1954 at [[Calcutta]], [[India]], and finally at [[Dacca]], [[Pakistan]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/brindies-quad.html|title = Asian Quadrangular Tournament (Colombo Cup) 1952-1955}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.indianfootball.de/data/colombocup.html |title=The Indian National Team at the Colombo Cup |website=www.indianfootball.de |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030613163424/http://indianfootball.de/data/colombocup.html |archive-date=2003-06-13}} </ref><br />
