Socceroos' next test to go ahead despite Saudi Arabia airport attacks

Key points

  • Organisers of the Asian Cup, which includes the Socceroos, say preparations remain on track for the tournament in Saudi Arabia early next year. The local organising committee is still working to the original 7 January to 5 February schedule.
  • Asian football chief Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa had earlier said a postponement until 2028 was possible if needed. The move follows a strike on Riyadh's international airport that killed at least 12 people and wounded more than 300.
  • Football Australia said the safety of players, staff and supporters remains paramount, with risk assessment a key focus for January.
