Saudi Arabia marks 100 days to AFC Asian Cup 2027 kickoff
Organizers say Saudi Arabia is ready to host the 2027 AFC Asian Cup as the 100-day countdown begins for the tournament’s first edition in the Kingdom.
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, is set to embark on a fraternal visit to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. The visit is in response to an invitation from Prince Khaled bin Salman, the Saudi Minister of Defence. This comes after both nations highlighted their shared history and deep-rooted ties in July, with officials from the UAE and Saudi Arabia expressing their unity in a social media post.
In August, President Sheikh Mohamed of the UAE sent a letter to Saudi Arabia's King Salman, inviting him to the UN Water Conference 2026 in Abu Dhabi, a move that prompted a response from Saudi Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Waleed Al Khereiji.
