Beijing and Shanghai are among 10 Chinese cities that will host the Asian Cup finals in 2023
Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi’an, Dalian, Qingdao, Xiamen and Suzhou will be the host cities for the 18th edition of Asian Cup finals.
China’s desire to showcase its ability as a future World Cup host got a boost when its football association was awarded the right to host the quadrennial tournament at an extraordinary AFC congress in Paris in June. “The AFC Asian Cup is our flagship competition for national teams, and I am sure that the Chinese FA and the selected host cities will deliver a tournament which is in keeping with the event’s world-class status,” AFC president Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said in a statement.
The tournament will give China the opportunity to showcase its ability to host a major football event and comes several years after President Xi Jinping declared his desire to see the country eventually host the World Cup finals.
