November 1 – AFC President Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa stressed in his closing remarks at the AFC presidents and general secretaries conference that the key reforms being introduced are only the beginning for the AFC.
Salman has continually emphasised the importance of the AFC to becoming a ‘model’ confederation.
The annual AFC Member Associations and Regional Associations Presidents’ and
General Secretaries’ Conference has become an important talking shop and information-sharing platform for that journey.
The conference saw three days of speakers and global football leaders lending their strength to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC)’s continuous efforts to develop the Asian game.
Hosted by the Korea Football Association, sessions were focussed on “processes and tools needed to further elevate the standards of Asian football.”
A number of keynote speakers and panels inculded a discussion focused on the Conference theme of ‘Building and Leading Great Organisations’ moderated by Alex Phillips, the Administrator of the World Football Remission Fund.
“The constructive dialogue and forward-thinking conversations at the Conference leave me with great confidence in the future of Asian football,” said Salman.
“At a critical time when our key reforms agenda is charting the new direction forward, all of us are now better equipped to unlock the true potential of football on our great Continent. At the same time, these reforms are just the beginning, and I would like to reinforce my pledge that the AFC will continue to work in close partnership with our Member Associations and Regional Associations.
“We are committed to introducing more breakthrough initiatives and programmes to uplift the Asian game, and this Conference serves as another fine example of the possibilities we can achieve together when Asia remains united.”
