South Korea to replace China as hosts of Asia Cup 2023

South Korea will launch a bid to host the 2023 Asian Cup following China’s decision to relinquish its rights to the tournament, the Korean Football Association (KFA) said on Monday.

China was due to host the tournament in June and July next year but the country’s efforts to follow a zero-COVID policy have resulted in the 24-team event being moved.
