Qatar to host another GRAND Event! Qatar will host next year's Asian Cup after China withdrew earlier this year. The Asian Football Confederation confirmed it on Monday. China won the bid to host the event back in 2019 but withdrew its proposal in May this year. The primary reason is China's its "zero-Covid" policy, leaving the AFC authorities to find a new host for its flagship men's 24-team football tournament. The Asian Cup takes place once every four years. Qatar won the last edition in 2019, which was hosted by the UAE. #studentJournalist #Football #AsiaCup2023 #Qatar #China
