The finals were held from 7 to 29 July 2007. For the first time in its history, the competition was co-hosted by four countries in Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam; it was the first time in football history that more than two countries joined as hosts of a major continental competition and the only one to have ever taken place until UEFA Euro 2020. Iraq won the continental title for the first time after defeating three-time champion Saudi Arabia 1–0 in the final. As the winner, Iraq represented the AFC in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. Before 2007, Asia held its continental tournament every four years from 1956 until 2004. With the Summer Olympic Games and the European Football Championship also held in the same year as the Asian Cup, the AFC changed their tradition. From 2007, AFC decided to hold its continental tournament a year earlier, and every four years henceforth from that date. An estimated worldwide television audience of 650 million people tuned in to watch the 2007 AFC Asian Cup.http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/asian-cup/news/1015189/Cities-fight-for-Asian-Cup-motza Cities fight for Asian Cup motza 18 April 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20100928212155/http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/asian-cup/news/1015189/Cities-fight-for-Asian-Cup-motza 28 September 2010 dead dmy-all Venues 450 400 1 7 112 4 Location of the host cities of the 2007 AFC Asian Cup circle 8 11,background,outline right ,85px50px5px,5px330px,background,black Indonesia,1, Malaysia,3, 14 Thailand,5, 25 Vietnam, 6, 35 Jakarta #036e52 southeast Jakarta Gelora Bung Karno Stadium -6.205173 106.850117 Palembang #036e52 southeast Palembang Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium -2.972077 104.775431 Kuala Lumpur #ecc311 right, with-line 15 -15 Kuala Lumpur Bukit Jalil National Stadium 3.144946 101.686855 Shah Alam #ecc311 left, with-line -15 15 3.075574 101.518461 Shah Alam Shah Alam Stadium Bangkok #1c5f96 13.765773 100.501765 Bangkok Rajamangala StadiumSupachalasai Stadium Hanoi #bc2945 southeast 21.029930 105.834160 Hanoi Mỹ Đình National StadiumSupachalasai Stadium Ho Chi Minh City #bc2945 southeast 10.825369 106.629664 Ho Chi Minh City Rajamangala StadiumSupachalasai Stadium Since the tournament, the Shah Alam Stadium has been demolished.

In Group A, Oman held the Socceroos to a surprising draw. The Omanis took the lead and would have won, if not for an injury time goal from Tim Cahill. Next, joint hosts and the lowest-ranked team in the competition, Vietnam, shocked the UAE with a 2–0 victory. In the same group, Qatar held Japan to a shock 1–1 draw. The result caused Japan's coach Ivica Osim to fly into a rage in which he branded his players as 'amateurs' and reduced his interpreter to tears.http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=444506&cc=5901 AFC Asian Cup – ESPN Soccernet 13 July 2007 19 August 2007 https://web.archive.org/web/20070819223411/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=444506&cc=5901 dead In Group D, Indonesia continued the undefeated streak of the hosts by defeating Bahrain 2–1. Malaysia ended up as the only host country to lose their opening match after a crushing 5–1 defeat to China. Thailand recorded just their 2nd win in the Asian Cup finals (their other was in 1972 against Cambodia), and its first ever win in regulation, when they beat Oman 2–0 on 12 July. Meanwhile, Australia was upset by a 3–1 defeat to Iraq the following day, leaving them floundering in third place in their group despite high expectations. However, Australia's 4–0 demolition of Thailand at the last match day saw them move on to the quarter-finals, as Oman was unable to overcome Iraq in a goalless draw. Vietnam continued to stun all predictions when they drew 1–1 with 2006 ASIAD champions Qatar, while Japan finally got their first win when they thrashed the UAE 3–1. Although Vietnam lost 1–4 to Japan, the UAE's 2–1 comeback win over Qatar resulted in Vietnam's first ever qualification into the next round. They became the only host to progress through despite being in a group with three different champions. On the other hand, Malaysia continued its poor form with 0–5 and 0–2 losses to Uzbekistan and Iran, exiting the tournament without a single point. China's shocking elimination occurred when they were hammered 0–3 by the Uzbeks, despite having drawn 2–2 with Iran and was expected to qualify from group stage with an easy win. Bahrain shocked the whole tournament by defeating South Korea 2–1 in Group D, leaving the Koreans on the verge of elimination when Indonesia was beaten 1–2 by Saudi Arabia. However, South Korea secured a 1–0 win over hosts Indonesia and with Saudi Arabia destroying Bahrain 4–0, it was enough for the Koreans to qualify to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, Iraq defeated Vietnam 2–0, while South Korea needed a penalty shootout to eliminate Iran 4–2. Japan also needed a penalty shootout to defeat Australia 4–3 (this was the first time Australia's goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer had ever come out on the losing end of a penalty shoot-out), and Saudi Arabia won over Uzbekistan 2–1. Iraq upset the Koreans in the semi-finals by winning 4–3 on penalties, resulting in thousands of Iraqis celebrating in the streets of Baghdad. Over 50 Iraqis were killed by terrorist bombs targeting these crowds.2007-07-25 Iraq bombs strike football fans https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6916230.stm BBC News en-GB In the other semi-finals, Saudi Arabia eliminated defending champions Japan after a 3–2 win to make the final match an all-Arab affair. Iraq went on to defeat the Saudis 1–0, taking the Asian Cup title. Iraqi forward and captain Younis Mahmoud was given the title of Most Valuable Player. South Korea took third place, narrowly beating Japan 6–5 on penalties. It was the third consecutive match in the tournament that South Korea drew 0–0 before a penalty shootout. Iraq, Saudi Arabia and South Korea, as the top three teams in the tournament, all received automatic berths to the 2011 Asian Cup along with the next hosts Qatar.https://archive.today/20110719073026/http://sports.indiatimes.com/Sections/Top_3_teams_guaranteed_2011_berths/articleshow/2231281.cms The Times of India Sports: Extensive sports coverage, key statistics and free downloads Group stage Group A 2007 AFC Asian Cup Group A 7 July 2007 19:30 UTC+7 THA 1–1 Report IRQ 2004 Sutee 6 pen.
