Qatar only nation to formally submit a bid to host the 2011 Asian Cup

Of the original trio that expressed interest in hosting the 2011 Asian Cup, India withdrew from proceedings and Iran missed the final deadline to submit their proposals to the Asian Football Confederation. Qatar, India and Iran had all expressed an interest in bidding for the 2011 tournament when the AFC initially asked for expressions of interest. Qatar submitted their formal bid document last week but India announced they were pulling out of the race while Iran did not submit an application when the deadline expired last Thursday.

Despite being the only country to formally lodge a bid, Qatar’s submission must meet all the requirements stipulated by the AFC before it can be ratified as host. Otherwise the bidding process will be reopened. The AFC said the decision on 2011 would be announced on July 29.

India have decided against making a formal bid to host the 2011 Asian Cup.

The All India Football Association (AIFF) believes that the country doesn’t yet have the football infrastructure in place to host the event.

Earlier this week, Qatar became the first of the three original candidates –Iran is the other- to submit a formal bid to the Asian Football Confederation.

"We are not making a formal bid," All India Football Federation (AIFF) secretary Albert Colaco told Reuters.

"We tried to see if it would be possible," he added. "We need two international standard stadiums in each of the cities where matches will be played. It is very tough."
