The Asian Football Confederation has detailed plans for a new biennial Nations League tournament starting in 2030. The proposed three-tier competition aims to replace uncompetitive friendlies while directly integrating with World Cup and Asian Cup qualification.
A wave of top European league talent could feature in FIFA's newly launched regional tournament taking place between 24 September and 5 October. With 14 nations set to compete across two divisions, FIFA President Gianni Infantino hailed the initiative for providing meaningful international opportunities.
