AFC PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Shaikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa AFC President Dear friends, Welcome to the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019. After four years the wait is finally over, and the biggest and best-ever AFC Asian Cup is underway. With a record 24 teams, who progressed through the most innovative and inclusive Qualifying Programme that has ever been staged, the AFC Asian Cup is now firmly established as one of the world’s top national team competitions. As the flagship tournament for Asia’s nations, the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 has lived up to the AFC Vision and Mission objective of developing top-level competitions that allow our teams to compete on the world stage. For the first time the AFC will introduce the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system from the Quarter-final stage incorporating the world’s leading suppliers in this field. There is a glittering new trophy for the first time in the 56-year history of the competition. Designed by world-renowned silversmiths, the trophy now awaits the winners on February 1. They will also receive a record winners’ cheque of US$5m from the richest-ever prize fund of almost US$15m. The AFC has supported Asian equipment manufacturers by signing with leading football developer Molten, who have created a specially designed match ball for the 51 games which begin with the UAE taking on Bahrain on January 5 at Zayed Sports City. In control of the matches are the 57 top officials from Asia, which continues to set benchmarks in refereeing – and they will be supported by a trio from Mexico led by referee Cesar Arturo Ramos as part of the AFC-CONCACAF Memorandum of Understanding exchange programme. And all the action is taking place at eight leading stadiums and the AFC thanks everyone responsible including the UAE Government, the Local Organising Committee and our volunteers, who have generously given their time. So, there is much to be excited about but none of this would have been possible without the magnificent support of our Member Associations whose support and unity allowed the AFC to introduce all these exciting additions to an already prestigious tournament. I am also grateful to our commercial partners, broadcasters and the thousands of fans who will watch in the stadiums of the UAE and the tens of millions who will watch on television or engage via social media. Your support is greatly appreciated. We wish all the 24 teams the very best of luck and we look forward to crowning the champions in Abu Dhabi on February 1.

  • Media Release Afc Asian Cup Australia 2015
    MEDIA RELEASE AFC ASIAN CUP AUSTRALIA 2015 DEL PIERO NAMED GLOBAL AMBASSADOR Alessandro Del Piero has been named global ambassador for AFC Asian Cup Australia 2015. The current Sydney FC player and Italian national team legend will help take Asia’s biggest football event to an even larger audience, further boosting its profile beyond the borders of the world’s biggest region. “I am very proud to be associated with the biggest football tournament ever held in Australia, the country that has become my home for the past two years,” Del Piero said after his appointment was announced in Sydney on Tuesday. “Asia is the fastest growing region in world football. “To be given the responsibility of hosting Asia’s premier championship is a huge honour for Australia. “To be given the responsibility of serving as global ambassador for that championship is a huge honour for me.” Michael Brown, CEO of the AFC Asian Cup’s Local Organising Committee, said Del Piero’s stature in world football would cement Australia 2015 as a global event. “Alessandro is one of the giants of the game,” Mr Brown said. “He has galvanised interest in the A-League over the past two years, and we hope his association with the AFC Asian Cup will do the same for what is the second oldest continental championship in the world. “The AFC Asian Cup is our equivalent of the Euros, and is in fact older. “Alessandro’s appointment extends the reach of our ambassador program. “It complements the great work of our Captain Ambassador Lucas Neill.
