Asian Cup Qatar 2023 Competition Dates and Venues Revealed by AFC

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) have announced that the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023 will be held from January 12 to February 10, 2024. The tournament will be held across 30 days, two more than the 28-day 2019 edition in the United Arab Emirates, to enhance the experience for Asia’s football fans as well as the stature and commercial value of the competition. The tournament will be staged across eight stadiums, six of which were venues for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. The official draw ceremony for AFC Asian Cup will be held at the Katara Opera House in Doha on May 11, 2023, with the official match schedule also expected to be unveiled shortly after the draw. Asia’s top 24 nations will compete for the most prestigious prize in Asian football, and the tournament will maximise the advantage of playing the opening game on a Friday and the final on a weekend to engage with more fans than ever before.
