Four teams reached the gold square in the Asian Cup with different ambitions: Qatar to maintain its title, Iran to regain its continental prestige, Jordan to write a fairy tale, and South Korea to prove its continental superiority. The majority in the semi-finals of the 2023 edition was for the West Asian teams, of which 3 were nominated: Qatar, Jordan and Iran, and only South Korea was from the east of the continent.
Qatar hopes to capitalize on the high morale that the national team gained after the exciting, difficult and dramatic victory over the Uzbek national team, in the face of Iran.
