DOHA: Asian Football Confederation Vice President Saoud A. Aziz M A Al Mohannadi has expressed the hope that Asia’s future stars will shine brightly in Qatar next January. Speaking at the official draw of the AFC U23 Championship, to be played in Doha from January 12 to 30, Al Mohannadi, who is also the AFC Competitions Committee Chairman, on Saturday said the fans and media were sure to be treated to a football feast by the continent's finest under 23 teams. “Many of the players will have experienced continental football tournaments in the past through participation in the AFC U-19 and U-16 Championships, or youth and grassroots events,” he said. “Now, these players, many of whom are already regulars in top teams, are finishing their school and we hope the valuable experience they gain will help them during their appearances at the AFC Asian Cup in the future,” he said.
