The 2023 AFC Asian Cup final was a football match which determined the winner of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, the 18th edition of the AFC Asian Cup, a quadrennial tournament contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of the Asian Football Confederation. The match was held at the Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar, on 10 February 2024 between first-time finalists Jordan and the host country and defending champions Qatar.[2][3]

Qatar successfully defended the title after a 3–1 victory against Jordan, who were playing in their first major tournament final. Akram Afif earned a hat trick by scoring three penalties to make Qatar the first team to retain the Asian Cup since Japan in 2004.[4]
