The AFC President emphasized the importance of delivering a successful competition. “A successful FIFA World Cup in Qatar is the need of the hour as it is the pathway to foster and promote understanding and solidarity, and it is my sincere hope that in these challenging times, we will not be distracted from appreciating the great joy football, as a unifying force for good, is capable of bringing us,” he said.
The AFC promises its complete support and unshakable commitment to a successful FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and stands in solidarity with the State of Qatar, the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, the Qatar Football Association, and FIFA, Sheikh Salman said.
