We look forward to seeing these promising athletes shine in a world-class sporting ecosystem,” said Jassim al-Jassim, AFC U23 Asian Cup 2024 LOC CEO.

Regardless of who claims the title, I am certain that fans will be treated to magical performances on the pitch while enjoying an array of activities throughout the the country,” added al-Jassim.
