The tournament logotype:

The CONIFA Asia Cup logotype is something very unique and holds its own story. It´s conceptualized by our CONIFA Asia/Oceania President, Ms. Ruby Ann Kagaoan and a young, fresh Art Director/Graphic Artist from the Philippines, Ms Isabelle de Guzman. Her passion lies in the arts and study of Human Rights and runs a Digital Studio named “Creative Cube Studios”. You can find more about Isabelle and her work here: Creative Cube Studios. Quoted from our Asia/Oceania President: “The Asia Cup logo symbolizes the CONIFA Asia eagle, bringing the blazing torch of the Asia Cup to high heights”.

The matches will be played on artificial turf in Alcochete, south of Lisbon, Portugal. The CONIFA World Football Cup 2024 will be hosted by three cities in Kurdistan (Erbil, Duhok and Slejmani). 16 teams from all over the world will be selected in 2023.

The Asia Cup 2023 – part II, will be played later this summer between Kashmir FA and the Pakistan All.Star in United Kingdom.
