Eight stadiums in the cities of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Al Ain and Sharjah are ready to host 51 matches within the framework of the 2019 Asian Cup.

Zayed Sports City (Abu Dhabi city, capacity 43,000 seats):As the main stadium of the 2019 Asian Cup, Zayed Sports City will host the opening and final matches. In addition, Zayed Sports City will also host group stage matches between Iraq - Vietnam, India - UAE, Oman - Japan, Saudi Arabia - Qatar, a round of 16 match and a quarter-final match.

Mohammed Bin Zayed (Abu Dhabi city, capacity 43,056 seats):Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium has been in use since 1979. To serve the matches of the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup, this stadium was renovated from 15,000 seats to nearly 3 times (43,056). Here, the ball will roll in 4 group stage matches, 1 round of 16 match, quarter-finals and semi-finals.

Hazza Bin Zayed (Al Ain city, capacity 25,965 seats):Hazza Bin Zayed was named Stadium of the Year shortly after its inauguration in 2014. It will host five group stage matches, a round of 16 match, quarter-finals and semi-finals. Notable fixtures include the Vietnam-Yemen match and the UAE-Thailand match.

Al-Maktoum (Dubai city, capacity 15,000 seats):From the outside, the design of Al-Maktoum Stadium reminds many people of the "holy land" Allianz Arena of Bayern Munich Club. Al-Maktoum is a very modern stadium, but has a modest capacity of only 15,000 seats. Al-Maktoum Stadium will host 4 group stage matches, 1 round of 16 match and the quarter-finals.

Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Dubai city, capacity 12,000 seats):The stadium is named after the Prime Minister of the UAE, Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Dubai originally planned to turn Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum into the largest stadium in the Middle East (60,000 seats). However, that plan soon fell through and the stadium only has a capacity of 12,000. It will host four group stage matches and one round of 16 match.

Al-Sharjah (Shariah city, capacity 11,000 seats):Al-Sharjah is the smallest stadium at the 2019 Asian Cup, hosting five group stage matches and one knockout round match.

Khalifa Bin Zayed (Al Ain city, capacity 16,000 seats):The rather old Khalifa Bin Zayed Stadium hosted some matches of the 1996 Asian Cup. In addition, it hosted the FIFA Youth Championship in 2003. Like Al Sharjah, Khalifa Bin Zayed Stadium hosted 5 group stage matches and 1 round of 16 match. Notably, there was a match between Japan and Uzbekistan.

Ah-Nahyan (Abu Dhabi city, capacity 12,000 seats):This is where Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will face the strongest opponent in the group stage, the Iranian team.
