Dushanbe, Tajikistan (20 Sept 2019) – Asean Football Federation President, Major General Khiev Sameth, paid an official visit to Central Asian Football Association President, Mr Rustam Emomali, here where they discussed enhancing the relationship between both regional bodies.
Mr Emomali, who was elected as the President of CAFA in May, expressed his happiness at the visit of the AFF President. The discussions also included the possibility of AFF and CAFA signing an MOU later.
“Our discussion covered various subject matters, among them fostering closer relations and development of the game in our regions. We agreed that working together will be beneficial to both our associations,” said Major General Sameth, who assumed the AFF President’s position in March this year.
