<p>The 2023 edition of the Asian Cup takes place in January and February 2024. Like the 2022 FIFA World Cup held there, high summer temperatures in host nation Qatar led to the tournament being moved from its traditional place on the calendar to the winter. Qatar’s participation in the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup also was a consideration in moving the competition.</p>



<p>Despite the 2024 dates of competition, the tournament has retained its Asian Cup Qatar <em>2023</em> official name.</p>



<p>Games kick off on January 12 and run through the final on February 10. Qatar, in addition to being the hosts, is also the defending champions. </p>



<p>24 teams from all across Asia will compete, as well as Australia, which despite not being a part of Asia, competes as an AFC member. Six groups of four teams will compete in the group stage, with the top two in each group, and the four best third-place teams, advancing to the round of 16. </p>



<p>The final was played at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar, which also hosted the 2022 World Cup Final.</p>



<h2>Asian Cup History</h2>



<p>The first Asian Cup was played in Hong Kong in 1956. This makes it the second-oldest competition of its kind in the world. Only South America’s Copa América (1916) is older.</p>



<p>The tournament, put on by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), features teams ranging from the Middle East, such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Iraq, to the Far East like Japan, China, and Korea. </p>



<p>South Korea won the first edition and is the most successful nation in terms of overall medals with ten (champions twice, second and third place four times each). Japan has the most titles with four.</p>



<p>Other nations that have won the competition are Saudi Arabia (3), Iran (3), Israel (1 – no longer a member of AFC), Kuwait (1), Australia (1), Iraq (1), and Qatar (1). A total of 16 different nations have placed either first, second, or third in the competition’s history.</p>



<p>Australia, upon winning the Asian Cup in 2015, became the only nation to have ever been champions of two confederations. They won the OFC Nations Cup four times before joining AFC in 2006. </p>



<p>The tournament has used a group stage + knockout stage format since 1972. Prior, a single round-robin stage was contested. The number of teams has grown and varied over the years, with the current 24-team format adopted in 2019.</p>



<p>Saudi Arabia is scheduled to host the next Asian Cup in 2027.</p>
