The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is considering postponing the Asian Cup to 2028 due to recent violent incidents in Saudi Arabia. This decision comes after a strike on Riyadh’s international airport resulted in at least 12 fatalities and over 300 injuries, with the Houthi movement claiming responsibility for the attack.
In light of these events, the organizers of the 'Six Kings Slam' tennis tournament have also announced a postponement, moving the event from October to December 27-30. They cited concerns regarding organizational and logistical challenges that could affect the quality of the audience experience as a reason for the delay.
