The 2027 AFC Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia has been postponed from January to December 2027, organisers said on Tuesday.
They cited "exceptional circumstances" in the region; the new dates still need FIFA's approval.
It is the latest sporting event hit by attacks on Saudi Arabia, after the Dakar Rally, WTA Finals and Saudi International golf.
