| AFC Challenge Cup final postponed |
HYDERABAD: AFC has decided to postpone the AFC Challenge Cup final and third-place playoff matches due to unplayable ground conditions in the southern Indian city of Hyderabad.
The AFC President’s Cup and Challenge Cup Organising Committee inspected the Gachibowli Stadium on Saturday and found the pitch unplayable after incessant rains deteriorated the ground surface.
AFC will conduct an inspection of New Delhi’s Ambedkar Stadium on Sunday before announcing a fresh date and venue for both the matches.
Both these matches would be played on August 13, if AFC finds the Ambedkar Stadium suitable to host the games.
Hosts India will take on defending champions Tajikistan in the final while DPR Korea will face Myanmar in the third-place playoff.
