Doha: His Excellency Mr Jassim bin Rashid Al-Buainain, President of the QFA, participated in electing the Chairpersons, Deputy Chairpersons and Members of the AFC’s judicial bodies – the AFC Disciplinary and Ethics Committee, the AFC Entry Control Body and the AFC Appeal Committee – at the AFC Extraordinary Congress 2023.
Mr. Mohammed Al Suwaidi, vice president and Mr. Mansoor Al-Ansari, Secretary-General of the Qatar Football Association, were also present at the meeting held via vedio link.
In congratulating the members, AFC President Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said: “The AFC has grown to become a model of excellence in upholding good governance and the highest ethical standards in recent years.
At the outset, the AFC President expressed his deepest sympathies to the families who have lost loved ones in the ongoing tragedy that has caught the attention of the world and underlined the AFC’s hopes for a peaceful outcome in order to facilitate the swift return of football in Palestine.
Meanwhile, in a clear and unwavering sign of Asian unity and solidarity, the AFC Member Associations expressed their support and desire to stand behind a single bid from Saudi Arabia as reiterated by the AFC President for the hosting rights of the FIFA World Cup in 2034.
Earlier this month, the AFC President had announced the AFC’s support for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s intention to bid for the coveted hosting rights.
