Junior said, “In terms of operational matters, it is clear that the continent of Asia is ready to celebrate the best edition ever in the history of the Asian Cup, and Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, President of the Asian Football Confederation, announced that Qatar 2023 will be a tournament with historical precedents, and this matter was achieved thanks to “High-level coordination and integration between the Asian Football Confederation and the Asian Cup Local Organizing Committee.”
Junior added in his statements reported by the Asian Football Confederation website, “Whether through launching the tournament slogan – Come on Asia – as well as launching the e-Asia Cup, implementing the semi-automated offside system, the video assistant referees system, developing the celebrations before the start of each match, and using projects… Diversified digital and paperless policy, all of this confirms the commitment of the AFC and the Local Organizing Committee to ensure the provision of an unparalleled experience for all participants.”
He continued, “We have absolute faith that we will build on our proud legacy in previous editions, and just as importantly, we will strengthen the foundations for the countries that will host the Asian Cup in the future, in order to build on the model standards set by the Qatar Football Association, the Local Organizing Committee and the authorities.” Qatari.
