The AFC Asian Cup returns for 2019 and the cream of the continent’s footballing talent will be on show in the United Arab Emirates.
Those considered among the favourites are teams that starred in the World Cup in Russia last summer. Japan gave eventual third-place finishers Belgium a fright in the round of 16, South Korea knocked out reigning world champions Germany in the group stages and Iran came close to stunning Portugal in their group B decider.
