Dear friends,
It is my great pleasure, on behalf of the Asian Football Confederation, to welcome all the
representatives of the media to the new and exciting season of the AFC Champions League
2019.
The media play a vital role in promoting AFC competitions across Asia and engaging with
millions of football lovers on the Continent.
We understand at the AFC the importance of the media in relation to all our competitions and
that is especially the case in the AFC Champions League, where we see the top club sides in
Asia battle for the coveted trophy.
Last year it was Kashima Antlers who lifted the title in front of 100,000 fans – a record – at the
Azadi Stadium in Tehran. It was an outstanding occasion that earned much media interest.
And it is that media coverage which takes the excitement of the AFC Champions League to so
many fans - whether it be broadcasters, written press, photographs or the ever-growing social
and digital media.
Each year we look to improve the standards of facilities for the media and that will be no
different this year as we aim to continue the improvements, especially through our dedicated
media channel on the AFC website.
I am sure that it will be another thrilling year ahead and I know you will capture the brilliance
of the players and transmit the drama to your viewers and readers in even greater numbers
than last season.
Thank you again for your continued support.
