After the successful organisation of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Qatar will next host the 2023 AFC Asian Cup from January 12 to February 10, 2024, said officials from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and the competition’s Local Organising Committee (LOC).
The continent’s top 24 teams will compete for Asia’s biggest prize across eight stadiums, including six which hosted World Cup matches — Al Janoub, Al Bayt, Ahmed Bin Ali, Al Thumama, Education City, Khalifa International Stadium. Jassim bin Hamad and Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadiums are the two other venues that will be used.
