Doha, August 20 (QNA) - The Qatar Football Association (QFA) believes that the strength and unity of Asian football depend upon open consultation, mutual respect and sound institutional governance, stressed QFA President, HE Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani.
"Our recent correspondence with the Asian Football Confederation raises an important but straightforward question concerning the processes through which positions are taken in the collective name of AFC Member Associations", His Excellency said in a press statement published on QFA's website.
This is not a question of personalities, nor of whether individual associations agree or disagree with the substance of any particular position. It is about ensuring that the voices of Member Associations are appropriately heard when Asian football speaks collectively, His Excellency added.
He further emphasised that QFA raises these concerns in a constructive and brotherly spirit, with respect for the AFC and its leadership, and in the shared interest of strengthening the governance, unity and credibility of Asian football. (QNA)
