Football Australia tells AFP it was “closely monitoring” the situation in 2027 Asian Cup host Saudi Arabia following attacks by the Houthi group.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr had their Asian Champions League match delayed by an hour yesterday after the Saudi-led military coalition said it had intercepted a missile fired by the Houthis towards Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia, which is due to host Asia’s continental showpiece in January and February, has recently come under a series of attacks from the group, including strikes on oil facilities, tankers and transport hubs.
