he Asean Football Federation (AFF) World Cup Committee, which was formed in 2013, is looking forward to working with the Asean Secretariat and other key partners to realise the region’s dream of jointly hosting the FIFA World Cup.
AFF President Major General Khiev Sameth said after the AFF Competition Committee meeting that part of the agenda was spent on discussing Asean’s desire to host the FIFA World Cup with all member countries already affirming their support towards it.
“AFF formed the World Cup committee six years ago when the idea was first mooted by several MAs. We knew the region had the potential to successfully host the FIFA World Cup and have been exploring the possibility ever since,” said Sameth.
