Vision
SAUDI 2027 - OUR VISION
FOR 2027 AND BEYOND
Our commitment to hosting the AFC Asian Cup 2027 is about more than hosting a tournament. We want to use this unique opportunity to move Asian football forward – leaving legacies for all 47 Member Associations of the AFC.
OUR VISION
Football in Asia is on the rise! With anticipation building towards the 2023 Asian Cup, now is the time for all of Asian football to benefit from the positive momentum being created.
By bringing the AFC Asian Cup 2027 to Saudi Arabia for the first-time ever, is the opportunity to ensure that this momentum is not only carried forward but that it is renewed and expanded to include each and every football association across Asia. An AFC Asian Cup 2027 in Saudi Arabia will be much more than a football tournament; it will be the next step forward for Asian football, creating a strong legacy for all.
OUR
MISSION
#ForwardForAsia
As we in Saudi Arabia undertake our own transformation through our national Vision 2030, we are ready to use our long-standing passion for football as a catalyst for the continued growth of football across Asia – enabling all football associations to experience, exchange and expand like never before!
OUR COMMITMENT TO DELIVERING LEGACIES:
A core part of our bid to host the AFC Asian Cup 2027 is a commitment to developing legacies for all within the AFC community. And why wait until 2027?
The excitement which would be created in the Kingdom as tournament host will begin long before 2027, with a range of legacy programs to benefit Saudi Arabia and Asian football as a whole.
DEVELOPING LEGACIES
IN SAUDI ARABIA
The Kingdom’s current transformation, in line with Vision 2030, will be an important platform for the development of AFC Asian Cup 2027 legacies. Our many exciting legacy programs and projects being planned include:
DEVELOPING LEGACIES
ACROSS ASIA
Major tournaments such as the AFC Asian Cup should not only benefit the host. We want to use our position as a first-time host of the great tournament to help other Football Associations across Asia grow their capabilities and opportunities.
