The 2023 AFC Asian Cup final was a football match which determined the winner of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, the 18th edition of the AFC Asian Cup, a quadrennial tournament contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of the Asian Football Confederation. The match was held at the Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar, on 10 February 2024 between first-time finalists Jordan and the host country and defending champions Qatar.[1] [2]
