AFC Asian Cup 2027

NEW DELHI: The executive committee of the All India Football Federation has decided to withdraw its bid to host the AFC Asian Cup 2027. 

As per the strategic Roadmap of the federation, which will be announced later this month, the AIFF management thinks the hosting of big events doesn’t fit into the federation’s strategic priorities.

Following India's withdrawal, Saudi Arabia is the sole remaining bidder to host the continental tournament, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) confirmed on Monday.
