The 2027 Asian Cup is just the latest event to be postponed in the Middle East amid concerns about missile attacks by Yemen's Houthi movement.

The 24-team tournament - Asia's version of the Euros - was scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia from 7 January to 5 February next year.

The Asian Cup has now been delayed by almost a year, and will be held between 23 December, 2027 and 21 January, 2028.
