Official Publications
I see on the Asian Football Confederation website there are links to .pdf copies of official programmes/brochures for the Knock Out stage and the Final of the AFC Champions League.
Earlier in the year I managed to pick up a copy of the programme for the group stage, more by luck than chance and I also have a copy from last season’s group stage but it would be nice if these fine brochures were made more widely available rather than just being distributed to a select few.
The same goes for the ASEAN Football Federation Cup. I saw some handy little booklets in the hands of some of the bigwigs attending Bung Karno Stadium but no sign of anything else widely available which is a shame.
‘Cos you know what? We can’t hear the teams when they’re announced, the numbers and names on shirts are illegible from the stands and if the teams are listed on the scoreboard it’s too small to read. It must be embarrassing for the authorities when potential fans are scratching their heads because they don’t know who wears number 20 for Indonesia.
