AFC's official action to postpone the Asian Cup of Nations The insecurity in Saudi Arabia prompted the Asian Football Confederation to approve the rule of holding this tournament in even years instead of odd years from now on, to postpone the tournament by one year. With the approval of the new AFC law, the next Cup of Nations will be held in 2032. This means that the gap between the 2027 Nations Cup will be five years, so postponing the Nations Cup by a year to 2028 will not cause problems. In the past, unlike Europe, the Nations Cup in Asia was held in odd years, but now this institution wants to hold its competitions in even years. The Yemeni army's retaliatory missile attacks on Saudi Arabia have increased day by day in the past month, which is why most AFC members want to postpone or cancel the matches due to lack of security. - Link.
