Kuala Lumpur: Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) President, raised the curtain on the 2nd AFC National Coaches Conference which began in the Malaysian capital city on Monday.
The three-day conference started with Shaikh Salman alongside Asia’s national team coaches and technical directors paying tribute to Qatar for their impressive victory at the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 in February.
Shaikh Salman said: “I can understand what kind of burden the head coaches and technical directors carry on their shoulders. They have a big responsibility and it is a vast area, so it is important that we learn from the AFC Asian Cup and FIFA World Cup.
“We saw a record number of Asian teams in a FIFA World Cup Finals and in the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019, there was an increase from 16 to 24 teams and I believe everyone here can agree that it was a good thing. We watched many different teams do well, especially Qatar.
