AFC Asian Cup 2011: Why not Australia?

Qatar are the only nation to have formally submitted their bid to host the 2011 Asian Cup.

Of the original trio that expressed interest in hosting the event, India withdrew from proceedings and Iran missed the final deadline to submit their proposals to the Asian Football Confederation.

It is not all done and dusted however as the Gulf State must show that it can meet all the requirements necessary.

If the AFC is not satisfied then the whole process will restart.

The final decision will be taken on July 28, a day before the final of the 2007 version takes place in Jakarta.

Come on Aussie come on come on.

Get your bid in now! I guess given our finances and the state of our organisation at the moment this tournament has come to early.
