LAHORE, May 27: Only one-member of a three-man delegation of the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) is attending the Asian Football Confederation ‘Vision Asia’ meeting that started in China on Friday, a spokesman of the federation said. President PFF Syed Faisal Saleh Hayat and secretary Arshad Khan Lodhi were also scheduled to leave but only technical director Lt. Col (retd.) Mujahid Ullah Khan could go, as the president had pressing engagements as a federal minister while the secretary could not go because of the death of his elder brother.

Two Chinese cities, Qingdao and Wuhan are the hosts of Asia’s top football administrators.

Top AFC officials including president Mohammed bin Hammam, executive committee members as well as presidents and general secretaries of AFC member countries are in China.

The implementation on ‘Vision Asia’ project will

start from Saturday with the inaugural of Qingdao City League.
