The Asian Cup, initially scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia in early 2027, has been postponed until December next year, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said on Tuesday.
The 24-team tournament will now take place from December 23, 2027 to January 21, 2028.
The competition's organising committee said it had been rescheduled in light of the "exceptional circumstances arising from developments in the region, including substantial logistical complexities and travel disruptions".
"The new dates of the tournament will be presented to FIFA for approval," it added.
