The Asian Game

🎙️ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗚𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗗𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧 Established. Underwhelming. Unfulfilled. Progress. Four words that sparked a fierce debate about Australia's place in Asia. @jrvkfootball joins us to reflect on 20 years since Australia joined AFC. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/2dA1G2…

🇦🇺 Few players get to play in a major tournament in home soil throughout their careers. Even fewer get to do it twice in three years. Having made the semi-final of the Women's World Cup and now the Final of the Women's Asian Cup, they know it's now or never to win on home soil.

🚨 #BREAKING The AFC has advised bidding nations that it is abandoning the bidding process for the 2031 & 2035 AFC Asian Cups. This comes after a request from FIFA to move the tournament to even-numbered years as part of a change to the international match calendar.

For the third time in four editions, Australia and Japan will meet in the final of the AFC Women's Asian Cup. #WAC2026 | #DreamFearless

Japan cruise past Korea Republic 4-1 to set up a mouth-watering Final showdown with Australia. 📝 @Shibagoal theasiangame.net/japan-set-up-m…

Australia are through to the #WAC2026 Final. But as they did four days prior against DPR Korea just across the Swan River at the Perth Rectangular Stadium, they at times had to suffer for the result. 📝 @PaulWilliams_85 theasiangame.net/australia-stor…

A huge night awaits in Perth as Australia and China fight for a coveted spot in the #WAC2026 Final. Who will win through?

@yuki_ngst Hi Yuki - would it be possible for you to follow us so we can send you a DM regarding a possible interview? Thank you! 🙂

It was the ultimate David vs. Goliath battle, and despite the 3-0 win, Korea Republic will feel they let slip a chance to boost their goal difference against a defiant Iran. 📝 Anirudh Nair theasiangame.net/korea-wasteful…
