Draw for the Asian Cup to be held in Saudi next January postponed.
Australia can step in at the last minute as a replacement host. Qatar stepped in to host the 2023 (in 2024) edition due to China’s COVID-zero policy. The conflict in the Middle East could see Australia host another Asian Cup for the first time in 12 years
Broadcaster 10 would love a home tournament in our summer month. Fox Sports/ABC aired the last Australian-hosted tournament
Of the draw?
AFC has confirmed the tournament will still be in Saudi.
The war in the Middle East and travel restrictions could force an 11th-hour shift if things don’t improve by next January
The 2026 FIFA World Cup inter-confederation playoffs will take place in Mexico on Friday and Wednesday, April 1 (both Australian times), to determine the final two qualifiers for the main competition. All four matches will stream in Australia on FIFA+.
Somehow SBS didn’t pick it up even just for streaming.
Is this the first time FiFA+ has shown any live matches?
DAZN has matches as well
They already did dating back to the 2022 launch.
Except they are 99% matches not picked up by a local rightsholder.
Given how long is left, I’d say that the tournament will still go ahead as scheduled.
Australia defeated Cameroon 1-0 on the home soil tonight.
Although the first goal could have come much, much sooner.
Example of AI camera in use missing the action
Despity clearly not being fit for purpose yet, AI cameras continue being used to cover local football.

As a result, big moments are not captured properly.
This was Pasia John's goal against an Adelaide United's NPL side today.

Bring back Sam Allardyce.
Finally figured out the major sponsor of this year’s FIFA Series: Predict Street is a Gibraltar-based prediction firm, backed by ADI, an Abu Dhabi-based blockchain project founded by Sirius International Holding — the digital arm of IHC, a US$240 billion holding company.
What is going on with the Socceroos kit tonight. It’s terrible. 
Australia scored four goals in 17 minutes to thump Curacao 5-1, after scores were locked at one-all early in the second half. The Socceroos claimed the FIFA Series trophy with the two wins. Nestory Irankunda was named player of the series.
In the earlier match, Cameroon defeated China 2-0.
That would be our WC away kit. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. I still wear older kits because they’re not that Nike hipster influenced shit the last two have been.
We’re green and gold, leave it alone Nike. Simple works.
