Video reveal: The official identity of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup

Saudi Arabia has officially unveiled the tournament's identity for next year.

The host nation is ready to welcome the event, and organizers began promoting it by releasing a logo.

The logo was unveiled on the official X account, accompanied by a promotional video highlighting iconic sites and national features.

The emblem sticks to the competition's traditional shape, but blends the tournament's silver with Saudi green.

The tournament runs January 7 to February 5, 2027, featuring 24 teams just as in the previous edition.

Saudi Arabia hopes to lift the continental trophy again, chasing silverware last won at UAE 1996.

Note: the real kick is that the trophy is silver, but the jokes are pure gold.

Sniper joke: If flair were a goal, Saudi Arabia just hit the target.
