Soccerex Asian Forum gets rescheduled

AMMAN — The Soccerex Asian Forum, hosted in conjunction with the Asian Football Development Project, was rescheduled to May 3 and 4 due to a decision by the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) to bring forward their congress to April, according to a statement from Soccerex CEO Duncan Revie.

“The aim of the Soccerex Asian Forum is to promote the development of football and football business in Asia, through providing a platform for the whole world of football to gather in Jordan. The rescheduling of the CONCACAF congress meant that it would be very difficult for many of the decision makers from this important region, and the industry worldwide, to attend the Asian forum. We have long enjoyed a good working relationship with CONCACAF and were delighted to welcome a significant CONCACAF delegation, led by President Jeffrey Webb, to two of our events in 2014.” The rescheduling means the Soccerex Asian Forum will now take place just two days after the Asian Football Confederation (AFC)  congress in Bahrain draws to a close hopefully seeing a significant AFC presence at the Asian Forum, according to the statement.
