Saudi Arabia was confirmed as the host nation for the 2027 Asian Cup by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) at its 33rd AFC Congress in Manama, Bahrain, on Wednesday.

The AFC’s executive committee had earlier shortlisted bids from India and Saudi Arabia in October after Qatar pulled out of the process following their successful bid to host the 2023 edition in place of original hosts China.

But the All India Football Federation withdrew its bid in December, effectively sealing the tournament for the Saudis.
