We want to stage a next generation football tournament, which will set standards for future football AFC tournaments delivering a football experience like never before for millions of spectators from all over Asia.

An AFC Asian Cup 2027 in Saudi Arabia will be the opportunity for all football associations in Asia to benefit from our proud history of footballing success and commitment to football development at the highest level.

We want to use the tournament to exchange with and involve every AFC Member Association both in the tournament’s organisation and our proven development programmes, providing every corner of Asia with the tools they need to grow the game.
