Saudi Arabia hosts three Asia elite events
The Executive Office of the Asian Football Confederation approved a series of important decisions related to the hosting rights of continental tournaments. These include confirming the hosting rights for the final rounds of the AFC Champions League Elite for the 2026-2029 seasons. Additionally, Saudi Arabia was approved to host the second edition of the AFC U-23 Asian Cup in 2028, with the tournament taking place in Japan after a competition that involved Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, and Uzbekistan. The hosting rights for the 2027 AFC U-17 Asian Cup were transferred to Uzbekistan, which will also host the tournament in 2029. These decisions aim to improve the distribution of tournament hosting duties and ensure geographical diversity. They also introduce organizational changes to unify match schedules and promote competitive fairness, including updates to the AFC Champions League system and the establishment of regulations for the AFC U-20 Asian Cup qualifiers. The goal is to increase the number of participating teams and allocate reserved spots for the top-ranked nations.
