Qatar, India and Iran all lodged interest in hosting the 2011 AFC Asian Cup,[3] while Australia also considered making a late bid.[4] Qatar officially submitted their bid on 19 June 2007,[5] while India withdrew their interest and Iran failed to submit proper documentation for their bid on time.[6]

Qatar was announced as host nation on 29 July 2007, during the 2007 AFC Asian Cup in Jakarta, Indonesia. Due to FIFA regulations stating that confederation events can be hosted either in January or July, and July being peak summer heat in the Middle East, it was also announced that the tournament will be held in January of that year.[1][2]
