Asian Football Confederation

It begins when an email arrives.

Once the AFC draw is completed, Lion City sailors know the country, but Huang, she needs to know more than that.

The official schedule, the stadium, the date, precise location.

Only then can Lion City's team managers start building the trip.

This year, the senior group is closer to 28.

Rotation becomes another form of recovery, and that matters when a player's calendar stretches far beyond the Singapore Premier League.

There's AFC competition, regional competition in the form of the Shopee Cup.

For a lot of the squad, international football.

I think that's the reality of it.

Prince Ali, the head of the FA of Jordan, will face disciplinary action from the Asian Football Confederation.

What did he do?

So Prince Ali, you may remember, if you're old, is the guy who ran against Seth Blatter back in... 2015 for FIFA president lost.

And then we ended up with John Infantino.

He is not an Infantino fan at all.

And he was one of those countries in Asia that was really kind of pushing the Asian Football Confederation to go and not endorse Infantino.

If you remember, the AFC signed that letter after you had the FIFA Forward enterprise nonsense with Josh Kushner.

The vice president of Japan's Football Association quit today, saying the series of responses to controversies surrounding the World Cup did not align with his personal values.

Takeshi Okada stepped down a week after the head of Asian Football said the region supported Gianni Infantino's bid for re-election as FIFA president.

And Luxembourg's U15 national football team finished third in their group at the U15 World Cup in Baku, securing a place in the ranking matches and drawing praise for their performance and progress.

Out of five matches, the young Red Lions claimed four victories and now move on to compete in the C tournament bracket, where they will battle for places 65 to 96 among a total of 189 participating nations.

Not what is the meaning of life.

Who's going to score the goals for Saudi Arabia? That's what we are continuously asking ourselves.

And I'm telling you now, if we're also Berkhan, you know, who's just nominated for AFC Player of the Year, feel however you want about that down below.

If genuinely if he gets four goals at this Asian Cup.

Other federations are starting to waver in their condemnation of FIFA and Infantino.

And AFC president Sheikh Salman does a complete 180 and endorses Infantino on the 23rd of October for re-election, eight weeks after he'd signed a letter condemning him.

So I think that's where we should start, really, from the beginning of last week, Adam, because we're now in a new territory where there are federations now looking like they're going to support him.

Yeah, I think I'd go even stronger than that.
