Aspetar Hospital Sponsors Inaugural FIFA ASEAN Cup

FIFA announced that the inaugural FIFA ASEAN Cup will be sponsored and presented by Aspetar Hospital, a move that confirms the Qatari hospital's leading position in sports medicine and its continued commitment to enhancing players' health and well-being and improving their performance across Asia and the global football community.

The 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup began on Thursday in Indonesia and Hong Kong, China, and will conclude on October 5, with 14 national teams from Southeast Asian countries and other parts of the continent participating.

The tournament represents an important milestone in FIFA's efforts to support the development of the game and strengthen regional competition.

Aspetar is proud to support FIFA's vision for this pioneering tournament and to contribute to establishing standards of sporting excellence and supporting the continued growth of football in the region and beyond.

The partnership builds on an established relationship between Aspetar and FIFA dating back to 2009, when the hospital was accredited as a FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence.

Over the past several years, the collaboration has developed to include a wide range of sporting, medical and educational initiatives. These include supporting major tournaments, exchanging expertise, conducting scientific research and building capacity, contributing to enhanced player health and safety and improved football performance.

Through this partnership with FIFA, Aspetar will continue to apply its expertise to support the next generation of Asian football talent participating in one of the region's newest and most important international tournaments.

Aspetar has an extensive record of providing sports medicine services and medical care during major global sporting events, having served as the official medical services provider for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

Through its support for prominent international tournaments, including the FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA U-17 World Cup, with Qatar hosting the final stage of the former during the past two years and being selected to host the latter from 2025 to 2029, Aspetar continues to consolidate its position as a global reference in athlete care and medical excellence in sport.
