Women's Asian Cup Qualifiers Postponed Amidst Iran-Israel Air War

The forthcoming Women's Asian Cup qualifiers in Jordan have been postponed, the Football Association of Singapore announced. This delay is attributed to the escalating air war between Iran and Israel, creating regional instability.

The qualifiers, initially slated to begin next Monday and run until July 5th, would have seen Singapore's national team facing off against regional opponents including Jordan and Iran. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) cited safety and logistical concerns from involved nations as reasons for the postponement.

The AFC is considering a new neutral venue for the rescheduled matches, yet to be determined. Meanwhile, the conflict continues with Israel launching strikes against Iran, and Iran responding with missile and drone attacks, highlighting the ongoing tensions in the region.
