    The UAE is ready to welcome the AFC Asian Cup next year and you can buy tickets from next week for the footballing extravaganza which kicks off in January 2019.

    The tournament will see a record 24 Asian nations contest 51 matches over 28 days, with stadiums in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai and Sharjah hosting what promises to be captivating action on the pitch.

    Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and members of the UAE’s Local Organising Committee have now confirmed tickets for the tournament will go on sale on Monday July 30th 2018.

    In the build-up to one of the most eagerly-anticipated spectacles for football fans around the continent, AFC General Secretary Dato’ Windsor John joined HE Aref Hamed Al Awani, AFC Asian Cup 2019 UAE Tournament Director of the Local Organising Committee, in Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital, where they presented a giant replica ticket to showcase the biggest sporting event ever hosted in the UAE.

    The LOC officials were in Kuala Lumpur to update the AFC on preparations and operational readiness for the tournament, including upgrades and refurbishments to all eight stadium venues involved, as the UAE gets set to welcome fans from across Asia and the rest of the world from January 5 to February 1, 2019.

    Group Stage offerings range between Dh25-75 and quarter-final tickets are available from Dh50-150. Semi-final tickets can be purchased between Dh50-150, and for the final, Dh75 to Dh300.
