Originally, the event was scheduled to be held in China from mid-June to mid-July this year. However, the tournament was postponed when China returned the right to host the tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Korea also stepped up to host the 2023 Asian Cup, but Qatar took the hosting rights. Since it is impossible to hold the tournament in Qatar in the summer, it was confirmed that the event will be held in the winter as well.바카라사이트
