Saudi Arabia will host the 2027 Asian Cup in an all-Arab Group A, while two-time defending champions Qatar face Japan, after Saturday’s draw in Riyadh, Reuters reported.
The draw had been set for April 11 in the Saudi capital but was postponed because of the Middle East conflict to ensure full attendance and participation from all concerned parties, national associations and partners.
Saudi will play alongside Kuwait, Oman and Palestine in Group A, while Group B includes Uzbekistan and Jordan, who both qualified for the World Cup next month.
