AFC unveils bidders for 2035 Asian Cup hosting alongside 2031 host candidates
February 4 – The Asian Football Confederation has closed the initial bidding process for the 2035 AFC Asian Cup. Final host selection will run in parallel with the decision on the 2031 edition.
The move follows a proposal by AFC president Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa to take both tournaments to a single Congress for approval.
Salman argued it offers long-term certainty around hosting rights, infrastructure planning and commercial alignment across its most important national team competition.
