AFC Orders Redraw For Asian Games Men's Football Competition

GoalNepal Jul 24, 2018 13:42

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has asked Indonesia to conduct a redraw for the men's football competition of next month's Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang.

The redraw has been ordered as names of two countries -- the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Palestine -- had been left out when the exercise first took place earlier this month.

It has been confirmed that the UAE and Palestine had both submitted their entries correctly according to the rules.

The AFC has informed all its member associations that the redraw for the Asian Games will take place as the number of participating teams has risen to 26 countries.

Earlier Nepal had been grouped with Japan, Vietnam and Pakistan.
