KUALA LUMPUR: Asia’s football World Cup qualifiers this month and in June have been postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak, but games can still go ahead if both sides agree and safety standards are met, officials said Monday.
Qualifiers set for March 23 and 31, and June 1 and 9, are “postponed to later dates”, world body Fifa and the Asian Football Confederation said, after consultations with Asia’s national football associations. The announcement suggests that at least some games will go ahead during the upcoming international windows when dozens of fixtures were planned across the Middle East and Asia.
