Bishkek: Kyrgyzstan has successfully launched its Live Streaming Platform during a recent friendly match against the Philippines, which was encouraging development made possible by its participation in the AFC President’s Initiatives Programme.
Kyrgyzstan is the third recipient of the Live Streaming Platform initiative, after Bhutan and Oman.
The representatives from an AFC partner company visited Kyrgyzstan to oversee the streaming, which is steadily gaining popularity among football fans who have expressed highly positive comments on social media.
The FFKR has been promoting the channel on its Facebook page and other social media channels and records have shown 8,000 visits to the platform for the Philippines game.
Overall, the FFKR was satisfied with the streaming and has asked Mycujoo and AFC to assist them in getting the necessary equipment, software, technology and onsite training/workshops to take the project further with multi cameras and High Definition (HD) options.
The next match to be live-streamed will be the Kyrgyzstan Cup 2016 final between Dordoi FC and Alay FC on September 18.
A Club Licensing Workshop was also recently organised for the top league clubs and several potential sides from the first division to introduce the Football League of Kyrgyzstan (FLK) Level Club Licensing Regulations (2017) and AFC Cup Club Licensing (2018).
The year 2017 will be the third season for the implementation of the Club Licensing Regulations in Kyrgyzstan, whose regulations are at par with the AFC Cup Club Licensing Regulations with a few additions needed.
The FLK will try to implement more criteria for the 2018 season and plan to have a minimum of eight licensed clubs for the 2017 season, among other targets, in its bid to help clubs become more professional with help from the AFC League Development Programme.
