An official with the Football Association of Malaysia said the Southeast Asian nation had started submitting documents to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to support its bid. “We are bidding for it,” stated the official. “The process has begun.”
AFC said in a statement last month that 11 countries have expressed interest in hosting the cup. Besides Malaysia, the prospective hosts are Bahrain, China, Iran, Kuwait, Lebanon, Myanmar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and the UAE.
Australia is hosting the 2015 Asian Cup, which will take place in January.
