AFC: Champions League, AFC Cup, U19 and U16 championships to go ahead as scheduled

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and FIFA on Wednesday announced that they have decided to postpone the remaining 2022 World Cup and 2023 Asian Cup joint qualifying matches to 2021, taking into consideration the Covid-19 situation in numerous countries in the continent.

But it must be noted that the other marquee competitions, namely the AFC Champions League (ACL), AFC Cup, and the AFC U16 and U19 Championships, which are slated to be hosted at a centralised venue will stick to schedule.

The U16 tournament is proposed to take place from November 25 to December 12, 2020, in Bahrain.
