KUALA LUMPUR – The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) will finance the salaries of 12 coaches to be employed by the Afghanistan Football Federation (AFF) under the AFC’s AID27 project.

The 12 coaches all recently passed the AFC’s ‘C’ license course and meet the Confederation’s criteria to be eligible for employment under the project.

Afghanistan, one of the founding members of the AFC, is one of the world’s lowest ranked nations, currently placed 190th on FIFA’s global list.
