2007
The Asian Football Confederation's 2007 Asian Cup finals will be held in July 2007 (Starting on July 7, 2007, ending on July 29, 2007). For the first time in its history (and perhaps in any sporting event), the competition will be co-hosted by four nations – Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
The Asian Cup has been held once every four years from 1956 onwards, the last of which held in China in 2004. However, as the Summer Olympic Games and the European Football Championship are also held in the same year as the Asian Cup (2004, 2008, 2012 etc.), the sporting calendar is somewhat crowded. The AFC have thus decided to change their tradition, and will be holding the next tournament in 2007, and every four years henceforth from that date.
It is the first major tournament that Australia will participate as an invitee of the ASEAN Football Federation since its move into the AFC on January 1, 2006
