Australia, Japan interested in hosting 2035 Asian Cup, says AFC

Australia, South Korea and Kuwait have formally expressed interest in hosting the 2035 Asian Cup in addition to bidding for the 2031 tournament, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said on Wednesday, Reuters reported. 

The AFC is expected to confirm hosts for both the quadrennial continental showpieces at a single annual congress following a proposal by its President Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa.

The governing body said Japan had also expressed interest in hosting 2035 alone, according to Reuters.
