Major football tournament postponed for 11 MONTHS due to deadly attacks in Saudi Arabia

PLANS have been made to push the Asian Cup back by 11 MONTHS because of the deadly Middle Eastern conflict. The historic football tournament was due to be held in Saudi Arabia in the opening days of 2027. But Asian Football Confederation chiefs, who are backing Gianni Infantino ahead of the Fifa presidential election, have confirmed the competition has been postponed. A missile attack by Yemen’s Houthi movement killed 13 people and wounded more than 300 at Riyadh’s airport last month.
