New and old faces at the 2023 Asian Cup

here may have been more attention on Asian teams in the World Cup play-offs in the first half of June, with Australia overcoming United Arab Emirates and then Peru to book the penultimate spot in Qatar, but there was plenty of other qualification action elsewhere on the continent. The Socceroos had, along with12 other teams, already booked their place in the 2023 Asian Cup but from June 8 to June 14, 11 others completed the line-up.
