Son Heung-Min will be the key player for South Korea in the AFC Asian Cup.
As we arrive at the brink of the New Year, the Asian Football Confederation’s premiere association tournament, the AFC Asian Cup is at the door. The tournament’s 18th edition is scheduled to commence on January 12, 2024.
The defending champions Qatar will be hosting the tournament this time after achieving a great feat while hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The match’s grand finale is set for February 10, 2024, and it will take place at Lusail Stadium, which already went into the history books when Argentina‘s incredible World Cup run ended with them winning the championship after 26 years, with Lionel Messi finally welcoming the most-awaited silverware to his cabinet.
The 24 teams that advanced from the Qualification Stage to the main event of the AFC Asian Cup 2023 will play across six groups. As they approach the final quarter of their final preparations, all the teams have already begun to brace for the occasion. Asia’s fan-favorite, Australia have already announced their roster. The two-time quarter-finalists, Jordan also announced their squad last week.
