AFC Asian Cup

The AFC is one of the most popular competitions in the world, with a large fan base. The Asian Football Confederation is in charge of the competition. The competition was first held in 1956.

The Asian Cup event is scheduled to take place every four years, however it was only in 2007 that the tournament was held every three years. The competition was co-hosted by only four countries. Qatar is the current holder, having won the 2019 edition in the United Arab Emirates, whereas Japan is the most successful country in the competition's history, having won four times. China will host the Asian Cup in 2023, with the final likely to be staged in Shanghai. Big soccer events like this are frequently a terrific chance to visit nations that aren't easy to travel normally, so there's no better time to visit China in 2023.
