JAKARTA - The 2023 Asian Cup will run on January 12-10 February 2024 in Qatar. The largest tournament between Asian countries has reached the widest broadcast distribution since it took place in 1956.

The 2023 Asian Cup is ready to reach the widest possible audience in tournament history. A total of 60 broadcasters will feature interesting actions in more than 160 regions and countries around the world.

The record confirmed the 2023 Asian Cup as the most covered and accessible edition. Secretary General of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), Datuk Seri Windsor John, said the policy was in line with the vision and mission of the confederation to ensure football remains the number one sport in Asia.

"The AFC has underscored its vision and mission to ensure football remains the number one sport on the continent and to host world-class tournaments for players and teams." "In every way, our most prestigious tournament broadcasts in the market and region further strengthen our ambition to make it happen and underline the growing Asian Cup." "We are grateful for the trust and confidence given by our broadcasting partners and media in Asian football."

"We look forward to working with all of them to provide the best experience for loyal fans and stakeholders that we value," said Datuk Seri Windsor John on the AFC website.
