About the 2027 Asian Cup Finals

The 2027 AFC Asian Cup will be the 19th edition of the tournament and is considered the biggest football festival on the continent. The competition takes place from January 7 to February 5, 2027, in Saudi Arabia, featuring 24 top Asian national teams. This is also the first time Saudi Arabia has hosted the Asian Cup, after officially being awarded the hosting rights by the AFC in 2023.

The 2027 Asian Cup marks the tournament's return to its traditional four-year cycle. Previously, the 2023 Asian Cup was postponed to 2024 due to China withdrawing its hosting rights because of the COVID-19 pandemic. With Saudi Arabia as the host, the AFC expects the tournament to achieve new developments in both scale and commercial value.

According to the plan, the tournament will be held at eight stadiums across three major cities in Saudi Arabia. Many modern venues have been upgraded or newly built to serve the Asian Cup as well as the long-term football development strategy of this West Asian nation.

The 2027 Asian Cup maintains the 24-team format, divided into six groups. The top two teams from each group, along with the four best third-placed teams, will advance to the knockout stage. This model has been used by the AFC since 2019 to increase competitiveness and expand opportunities for many Asian football nations.

The group draw created several notable matchups. Hosts Saudi Arabia are in Group A with Kuwait, Oman, and Palestine. Meanwhile, Group F is considered the "group of death" featuring Japan, Qatar, Thailand, and Indonesia. The Vietnam national team landed in Group E with South Korea, UAE, and Yemen.

Defending champions Qatar enter the tournament aiming to retain the title for a third consecutive time, while Japan, South Korea, Iran, and Australia are still regarded as top contenders for the championship.
