The 2011 Men's Asian Champions Trophy was the first edition of the Men's Asian Champions Trophy and it took place from 3 to 11 September 2011 in Ordos, China.
The top six teams (India, South Korea, Pakistan, China, Malaysia and Japan) from the 2010 Asian Games participated in the tournament which involved round-robin league among all teams followed by play-offs for final positions. The tournament was combined with the 2nd Women's Asian Champions Trophy.
The tie-breaker in a knockout match was a one-on-one between the striker and the goalkeeper. The striker had to start from the 23-meter line and was given only eight seconds to score. This way of tie-breaker was used as part of a testing phase by FIH.
India became the first champion of the tournament after defeating Pakistan in the final 4-2 in a penalty shootout after regulation and extra time ended scoreless.[1]
