Asian Cup Betting Sites

Of course, the Asian Cup does not carry the same gravitas as the World Cup, European Championship or Copa America. Still, there is no shortage of attractive AFC Asian Cup betting opportunities to take advantage of.

AFC Asian Cup Format

The Asian Cup starts with the group stage, which sees all 24 teams split into six groups of four. Each team plays the group opponents once, with the top two teams from each group qualifying for the knockout phase.

It is worth noting that the four third-placed teams with the best records also advance to the knockouts, meaning 16 teams qualify from the group stage.

As the name suggests, the knockout phase comprises several knockout rounds. After the round of 16, the quarterfinals and the semifinals, the remaining two teams compete in a one-off final match for the trophy.
