It is difficult for me to answer this question as my knowledge was cut off in 2021 and I do not have access to current information. However, here is a list of some major soccer tournaments that typically take place on a regular basis: * The FIFA World Cup, which is held every four years and is the most prestigious international soccer tournament. The next edition of the World Cup is scheduled to take place in 2022 in Qatar. * The UEFA European Championship, which is also held every four years and is the premier soccer tournament for national teams in Europe. The next edition of the European Championship is scheduled to take place in 2020 in various cities across Europe. * The AFC Asian Cup, which is held every four years and is the premier soccer tournament for national teams in Asia. The next edition of the Asian Cup is scheduled to take place in 2023 in China. * The CAF Africa Cup of Nations, which is held every two years and is the premier soccer tournament for national teams in Africa. The next edition of the Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled to take place in 2022 in Cameroon. * The Copa America, which is held every four years and is the premier soccer tournament for national teams in South America. The next edition of the Copa America is scheduled to take place in 2021 in Argentina and Colombia.

2023 has already passed, but if you’re looking for the major soccer tournaments on the 2023 calendar, here were the highlights:

Tournament	Dates in 2023	Host location
FIFA U-20 World Cup — men	May 20–June 11	Argentina
UEFA Nations League Finals — men	June 14–18	Netherlands
CONCACAF Gold Cup — men	June 24–July 16	United States and Canada
FIFA Women’s World Cup	July 20–August 20	Australia and New Zealand
Leagues Cup — men’s clubs	July 21–August 19	United States and Canada
FIFA U-17 World Cup — men	November 10–December 2	Indonesia
FIFA Club World Cup — men’s clubs	December 12–22	Saudi Arabia

The men’s UEFA Champions League final also took place on June 10, 2023, in Istanbul.

Calendar note: The tournaments branded 2023 AFC Asian Cup and 2023 Africa Cup of Nations were actually played in early 2024.

Did you mean 2023 specifically, or tournaments coming up now?

Clarifying tournament dates

I need to clarify that when mentioning past events, I should specify the notable tournaments from 2023. For instance, the FIFA Women's World Cup took place from July 20 to August 20, while the men's Asian Cup is set for 2024, so I might keep that brief. I'll mention the Gold Cup happening in June 2024 and the UCL final on June 10. I could phrase my response like, "2023 has passed, but here are some key tournaments..." but it might come off a bit clunky.

What changed

GPT-3.5’s answer is a calendar of tournaments that had already happened. Every “next edition” it names, from the World Cup “in 2022 in Qatar” to the European Championship “in 2020”, was over by the time anyone asked about 2023. Even the one 2023 entry was wrong: China withdrew as Asian Cup host, and the event moved to Qatar. Its opening caveat about a 2021 cutoff was honest, but it then presented stale plans as upcoming. It also missed the biggest event of the year, the Women’s World Cup.

Astra flips the problem, noting that “2023 has already passed,” and gives a table whose dates and hosts check out, from the U-20 World Cup in Argentina to the Club World Cup in Saudi Arabia. Its best touch is the calendar note: the tournaments branded 2023 Asian Cup and Africa Cup of Nations were actually played in 2024, which is exactly the trap GPT-3.5 walked into. Closing by asking whether the reader meant 2023 or “tournaments coming up now” is a sensible fix for a question that has aged.
