Biggest-ever AFC Asian Cup opens with spectacular showpiece #Farewell2019

Abu Dhabi: The AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 kicked off in style today with a grand opening ceremony at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital.

Against the backdrop of a packed stadium and hundreds of millions around the world, football fans were treated to a breathtaking live show with a series of on-pitch music performances in a fitting tribute to the excellence of Asian football and the vibrant spirit, colour and atmosphere of the host nation.

Internationally renowned singing sensations from the UAE, Hussain Al Jassmi, Balqees Ahmed Fathi and Eida Al Menhali were the ceremony’s main stars, which set the perfect stage for the tournament’s opener between the hosts UAE and Bahrain.

Titled “Zanaha Zayed,” the opening ceremony’s theme song was written by Arif Al Khaja and composed by Khalid Nasser.

As many as 600 expert performers from the UAE and around the world participated in the live extravaganza including drummers, Ayalla dancers and origami falcons – all of whom created a series of mesmerising mass choreography formations for over 13 magical minutes.

Leading to the highly-anticipated kick-off, the show depicted the story of the tournament’s mascot, Mansour, an Emirati boy inspired by the beauty of the flight of falcons. Moved by their gracious movements, Mansour extended a warm Emirati welcome to Asia and the rest of the world.

Produced by those behind the successful opening ceremonies of the UEFA Champions League finals since 2014, the UEFA European Championships 2016 and several CAF African Cup of Nations, the opening ceremony also featured incredible giant falcons, over-sized lotus petals and a huge replica of the new AFC Asian Cup trophy.

#2019REWIND #AFCAsianCup2019 Round of 2

Abu Dhabi: After 50 matches between teams from all over the continent, the combatants in Asia’s biggest football fixture have been decided, with Japan to meet Qatar in the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 final.

Who, when, where?

JAPAN v QATAR

Zayed Sports City Stadium, Abu Dhabi – 18:00, February 1

Japan’s 3-0 win against Islamic Republic of Iran in Al Ain on Monday and Qatar’s victory over hosts United Arab Emirates 24 hours later in Abu Dhabi, sets up a mouth-watering clash between the sides, who will meet in the decider for the first time in the competition’s 63-year history.

History will be made whatever the result on Friday.

With Japan having won in all four of their previous appearances in the decider, the match will see a team which has never lost in the AFC Asian Cup final against opponents making their first appearance.

Part of the victorious Japan squad of 1992, Samurai Blue boss Hajime Moriyasu is poised to become the first man to win the AFC Asian Cup as a player and head coach and should the East Asians clinch the title, it will be for a record-extending fifth time.

Conversely, if Felix Sanchez’s Qatar are successful, the 43-year-old will become the first Spaniard to ever lead a side to the top of the Asian football mountain.

Abu Dhabi’s Zayed Sports City Stadium will stage the showpiece for the second time, with the venue having also hosted Saudi Arabia’s win in the 1996 final, when it was known as Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

Abu Dhabi: The AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 final four line-up has been confirmed, with host nation United Arab Emirates joined by former winners Japan and Islamic Republic of Iran and first-time semi-finalists Qatar.

With the remaining teams all having proven their quality, the scene is now set for two mouth-watering semi-finals, with the winners to progress to the AFC Asian Cup Final at Abu Dhabi’s Zayed Sports City Stadium on February 1.

Who, when, where?

ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN v JAPAN

Hazza bin Zayed Stadium, Al Ain – 18:00, January 28

With seven AFC Asian Cup titles between them, the first semi-final brings together two of the competition’s most successful ever sides.

Four-time champions Japan have been the competition’s dominant team in the modern era, lifting the trophy in 2000, 2004 and 2011 after breaking through for the maiden crown in 1992, while three-time winners Iran haven’t held the crown since 1976.

Quarter Finals: Vietnam vs Japan

With both sides yet to taste defeat so far in the UAE, something has to give in Al Ain, and football fans are already anticipating what looms as an instant classic between Carlos Queiroz’s Team Melli and Hajime Moriyasu’s Samurai Blue.

Despite their proud records in the AFC Asian Cup, the two sides have only met twice in the competition. They played out a scoreless draw in Doha in 1988, while a goal from a youthful Kazuyoshi Miura sealed a 1-0 win for Japan in Hiroshima four years later.

Quarter-final: China PR vs IR Iran

QATAR v UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi – 18:00, January 29

Five straight wins, including three in a row against former champions, have rocketed Qatar to the final four for the first time in history, while Alberto Zaccheroni’s United Arab Emirates side continues to gather steam when it counts most.

Having beaten Korea Republic and Australia in their respective semi-finals, Qatar and United Arab Emirates are now potentially 180 minutes away from becoming Asian champions, a title neither has ever held.

Quarter-final: Korea Republic vs Qatar

Felix Sanchez’s Qatar side boast seven-goal tournament scoring leader Almoez Ali, while the Emiratis feature Ali Mabkhout, who won Golden Boot at the 2015 AFC Asian Cup in Australia, and has aleady found the back of the net four times in this tournament.

The nations have previously met four times in the Continental Finals, winning twice each, with a Mabkhout-inspired United Arab Emirates prevailing 4-1 in their last meeting in this competition in Canberra four years ago.
