  • Park Hang Seo Becomes New Coach of Vietnam National Teams
    Beat: Sports Park Hang Seo becomes new coach of Vietnam national teams Vietnam Football News Hanoi, Vietnam, 30.09.2017, 18:09 Time USPA NEWS - SEOUL: Former Korea Republic national team assistant coach Park Hang Seo has agreed to become the Vietnam national team coach. The Vietnam Football Federation have announced the appointment of South Korean Park Hang Seo as the new coach of the senior national team. Confirming the move on their official website, the VFF revealed that the 58-year-old will not only be in charge of the senior team, but also be responsible for the Under-23 and Olympic sides. Park arrives with plenty of experience from his homeland, having been in charge of K League outfits Gyeongnam FC, Jeonnam Dragons and Sangju Sangmu Phoenix in a managerial career that began over a decade ago. However, the highlight of the Gyeongnam native´s time in coaching arguably came back in 2002. The 58-year-old was Guus Hiddink's first assistant when the Dutch coach guided Korea Republic to the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup 2002. Park met a delegation from the Vietnam Football Federation in Seoul on Friday, where he agreed to become the national team coach. He is expected to sign a two-year contract. "After careful consideration and much thought for a week, I decided to lead Vietnam's national football team," Park said. Park will fill the void left by Nguyen Huu Thang, who resigned in August after Vietnam failed to advance to the semi-finals of the Kuala Lumpur 2017 SEA Games.

  • CAS Dismisses the Appeal Filed by the UAE Football
    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport MEDIA RELEASE FOOTBALL – 2019 AFC ASIAN CUP THE COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT (CAS) DISMISSES THE APPEAL FILED BY THE UAE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION Lausanne, 3 August 2020 - The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has issued its decision in the arbitration procedure between the United Arab Emirates Football Association (UAEFA), the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and the Qatar Football Association (QFA). The CAS Panel dismissed the UAEFA’s appeal and confirmed the decision issued by the AFC Appeal Committee on 20 May 2019 in which the UAEFA’s protest against the eligibility of two players that represented Qatar during the semi-final match UAE v. Qatar on 29 January 2019 was dismissed. On 29 January 2019, the teams from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates played each other in a semi- final match. Qatar won the match 4-0 and went on to win the tournament. Shortly after the semi-final game, the UAEFA filed a protest with the AFC Disciplinary and Ethics Committee (AFC DEC) alleging that two of the players fielded by Qatar (Almoez Ali and Bassam Al Rawi) were ineligible to represent the QFA according to the AFC Asian Cup 2019 Competition Regulations and the relevant FIFA regulations (the applicable regulations). Following an investigation, on 15 April 2019, the AFC DEC dismissed the protest. The UAEFA then lodged an appeal with the AFC Appeal Committee which was dismissed on 20 May 2019. On 21 June 2019, the UAEFA filed an appeal at the CAS seeking to have the Challenged Decision set aside and replaced with a ruling that QFA had violated the applicable regulations and, as a consequence, that the UAE be awarded the victory of the semi-final match and all benefits resulting from the victory of said match, in particular in relation to the AFC Competitions Ranking.
