The interim authority of the Iraqi Federation and its Jordanian Football Association received approval from their Asian football counterpart to extend the reception of applications to host the Asian Nations Cup 2027, which was scheduled on March 31 to become June 30, due to their desire to provide a joint file to host the event.
Iraqi media reported that "the Iraqi and Jordanian sides agreed earlier to submit a joint request to host the tournament before the Iraqi Football Association Board and its former president Abdul Khaleq Masoud submitted his resignation due to administrative excesses that led to the formation of a new temporary body by the International Football Association (FIFA) Headed by Iyad Bunyan. "
The Jordan Football Association had tweeted on its account in "Twitter": "Hosting the Asian Cup is a great pride for the Jordanian and Iraqi football federations, we are looking and looking forward to working and cooperating with the brothers in Iraq to present a joint file that guarantees the organization and hosting of the 2027 edition of the continental championship."
