The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has confirmed that Qatar will host the 2011 Asian Cup. The announcement comes as no surprise as the nation was the sole bidder for the competition.
Iran and India were both initially interested but failed to submit a bid.
"I think it will be a great tournament. The Asian Cup from now on will be different from what we've seen in the past, in terms of organization, in terms of popularity and in terms of standard. This is my promise to you, said AFC president Mohamed Bin Hammam
It is likely that the tournament will take place in January.
