Central and South Zone General Secretaries hail landmark online conference

The first series of the two-day conference, which will see the AFC engage General Secretaries from all five zones by the end of this month, successfully covered the latest developments of the AFC’s competitions and also provided greater insights into the two recently formed functions within the Confederation’s structure – Commercial and Safeguarding.

The second day focused on ensuring the highest sporting and ethical standards, particularly during these uncertain times, with a special emphasis on match-fixing in a post COVID-19 world presented by the AFC’s long-standing integrity partners Sportradar. Safeguarding for children and young people was also identified as a key area of focus.

The conference concluded with a special presentation from guest speaker Razvan Burleanu, President of the Romanian Football Federation who presented on the strategic approach to football development.

The Conference will now find its way virtually to General Secretaries in the East Zone on June 11, before engaging the senior leadership of the ASEAN Zone on June 25 and will conclude its final leg for the West Zone on June 30.
