2023 AFC Asian Cup
| Qatar |
| 16 June – 16 July |
| 24 [from 1 confederation] |
← 2019 2027 → |
The 2023 AFC Asian Cup will be the 18th edition of the AFC Asian Cup, the quadrennial international men's football championship of Asia organised by the Asian Football Confederation [AFC]. It will be held in Qatar from 16 June to 16 July 2023.[1] The tournament will involve 24 national teams after expansion in 2019.[2] Hosts Qatar are the defending champions.
The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in China. However, on 14 May 2022, the AFC announced that China would not host the tournament due to the circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and China's Zero-COVID policy.[3] On 17 October, the AFC announced that the tournament will be held in Qatar.[4]
Host selection[edit]
China was announced as the winning bid on 4 June 2019, on the eve of the 69th FIFA Congress in Paris, France.[5] However, due to China's relinquishment of its hosting rights,[6][7] the AFC conducted a second round of bidding, with a deadline for submissions scheduled on 17 October 2022.[8]
Four nations had submitted bids: Australia, Indonesia, Qatar and South Korea,[9] but Australia subsequently withdrew in September 2022[10] and Indonesia on 15 October.[11] On 17 October, the AFC announced that Qatar won the bid and will host the tournament.[4]

Not an AFC member
The first two rounds of qualification also served as the Asian qualification for the World Cup. Qatar participated only in the second round solely for qualification for the 2023 Asian Cup.[12] They had qualified automatically for the World Cup as host nation. China too participated only in the second round. They had initially qualified automatically for the Asian Cup as host nation.[a]
Timor-Leste were barred from participating in the qualification tournament. The team was found to have fielded a total of twelve ineligible players in 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification matches, among other competitions.[13] However, as FIFA did not bar them from the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Timor-Leste were still allowed to enter the competition, but were ineligible to qualify for the Asian Cup.[14]
Qualifying began on 6 June 2019 for 23 spots joining the then-chosen host nation China.[a] The tournament will take place in June and July 2023, moved from the typical January/February scheduling of the AFC Asian Cup. This is due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar taking place in November and December 2022. North Korea withdrew from the qualifying round due to safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15]
