Football: Australian Ange Postecoglou has had a harsh reality check about the progress he has made with Spurs, telling the media there is still plenty of work to be done.
On Wednesday night it was confirmed the event would be held down under after being the sole bidder for the tournament.
Expressions of interest for Asian Cup venues took place before the start of the recent Women’s World Cup suggesting the states that missed out did not get involved in the process. “Securing the AFC Women’s Asian Cup is a testament to our nation’s dedication to football. It is not only a victory for the sport but for every Australian, offering significant economic and cultural benefits,” Football Australia chairman Anter Isaac said.
It has been projected the tournament will generate up to $260 million in economic output - though these projections are always very rosy - and over 1,000 jobs.
