matches. This marks the first time that SAOT is in place at an AFC competition and makes the AFC the first confederation to apply the
system at the continental men's national team level.[24]

Marketing

Logo and slogan

The official logo and TV opening of the tournament were launched during the final draw on 11 May 2023. The logo features a silhouette of the
AFC Asian Cup trophy, with the trophy lines inspired from feathers of a falcon and petals of the lotus flower. The top of the logo is colored in
Qatar's national color, maroon, while the logo's tail features an Arabic nuqta.[31]

The tournament's slogan, "Hayya Asia", translating to "Let's go Asia!", was revealed on 5 October 2023 in an event to mark 100 days until the
tournament.[32]
Match ball

The official match ball, the VORTEXAC23 made by Kelme, was unveiled on 10 August 2023. The ball's design "incorporates Qatar’s maroon
colours, echoing the nation’s identity, and mirrors the championship’s emblem at its centre". Technical assessments have rigorously tested
the ball's performance, ensuring its durability, quality, and readiness.[33]

On 20 December 2023, the official match ball of the Final, the VORTEXAC23+, was revealed. The ball builds on the design of the
VORTEXAC23 and uses a predominantly gold and maroon colour scheme "to reflect the prestige of competing for the AFC Asian Cup
title".[34]

Official song

The official song of the tournament, "Hadaf", by Humood AlKhudher and Fahad Al Hajjaji, was released on 1 January 2024.[35][36]

Mascots

On 2 December 2023, the tournament's official mascots were unveiled at Barahat Msheireb, Doha, through an anime-inspired animation
produced by Katara Studios. The mascots are a family of five jerboas named Saboog, Tmbki, Freha, Zkriti and Traeneh, who were also the
mascots of the 2011 edition when Qatar last hosted the tournament. The mascots were created by Qatari artist Ahmed Al Maadheed, with the
animation directed by Fahad Al Kuwari and the song performed by Qatari artist Dana Al Meer and singer/composer Tarek Al Arabi
Tourgane. Four of the five mascots are named after locations in Qatar, while Saboog is derived from the term used to refer to a jerboa in
Qatar. The mascots were each created with different characteristics, akin to the different roles players undertake during a football match, and
made to resemble a traditional household in Qatar.[37][38]

Official video game

On 11 January 2024, Konami has released a short trailer of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup game mode, and announced that it will be added to the
latest release of its football video game series - eFootball 2024, in the upcoming updates. This mode will feature fully licensed tournament
teams, licensed trophy and visuals.[39]

Ticket sales

The first batch of tickets for the tournament - with more than 150,000 tickets had been sold out in just a week, since sales began on 10
October 2023.[40] Another 90,000 tickets of the second batch have been sold within the first 24 hours since being released on 19 November
2023. Fans from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Indonesia and India bought the majority of tickets offered. In addition to the opening
match between Qatar and Lebanon, the match between Saudi Arabia and Oman also led ticket sales.[41]

Prices for match tickets start from as low as QAR 25 (approximately US$6.8) to enable greater access for the millions of fans.[42]

On 20 November 2023, the Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the tournament has announced that it will donate revenue from ticket
sales to support emergency relief for Palestine, amidst the ongoing Israel–Hamas war.[43][44]

On 10 January 2024, the LOC announced that nearly one million tickets have been sold for the tournament.[45]

eSports tournament

On 8 December 2023, the AFC has announced that it will unveil the inaugural edition of AFC eAsian Cup, from 1 to 5 February 2024. This
eSports tournament will be played on Konami's football video game - eFootball 2024. It marks the confederation's first foray into the world
of esports. Taking place in Doha, the event will feature 20 AFC Member Associations, who are competing in the Asian Cup.[46][47]

Prize money

Total prize money pool for the tournament is US$14,800,000, the same as it was in the 2019 edition. The champions would receive US$5
million, the runners-up will receive US$3 million, and the losing semi-finalists would receive US$1 million. All 24 participating teams would
also receive US$200,000.[48][49]
