According to information received from sources in football circles, the joint application of the applicants may be canceled or rejected. The reason for such a decision may be the lack of necessary infrastructure for holding the tournament, which must meet the standards of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and FIFA.
It is unclear whether the withdrawal of the application will be initiated by the countries themselves or if, in this case, other candidates will compete for victory in the selection.
In addition, countries such as Australia, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, and South Korea have also submitted applications to host the 2031 Asian Cup.
