Nasser Al Khater - Qatar hosting AFC Champions League a huge milestone for return of football in Asia

The 2020 AFC Champions League season, which had come to a halt in March due to the Coronavirus pandemic, has resumed on Monday with the remaining games being played in Qatar.

The three 2022 World Cup stadiums that Qatar have already inaugurated - Khalifa International, Al Janoub and Education City - apart from another venue are the hosts to the West Asian groups in the continental competition.

Nasser Al Khater, CEO of the 2022 World Cup, feels that Qatar Football Association (QFA) stepping in to host the remaining 39 matches is a landmark in terms of continental football's return.
