Needless to say, it will be a special tournament for Palestine as well. And who would've thought we'd have to fly all the way to Australia to watch our nation's first Asian Cup. If you plan on making the trip, this post is for you.
Tickets are sold on the Asian Cup website and those to Palestine's group games cost AUD30 at most. Those who plan on supporting loudly and close to other Palestine fans, we encourage you to choose the "Active Supporter Zone". You can have the tickets delivered by mail or available for pickup once you get there.
Palestine play Japan in Newcastle which is 162km from Sydney, so you might want to consider Sydney as your base for the first leg of the trip. It takes about three hours from Sydney to Newcastle on the Central Coast and Newcastle railway line.
Looking forward to hosting @FutbolPalestine for their first @afcasiancup match against @jfa_samuraiblue #AC2015

Palestine's final group game against Iraq will be in Canberra, the Australian capital. Again, unless you fancy an 8 hour road trip, you might as well get on a plane to get there.
There, now you know enough to broadly plan your trip. What you do between matches is up to you.
A final note: be sure to join the Asian Cup Palestine Support Group on Facebook.
