Just to clarify about Vision Asia. VA is not funded by FIFA. It is also not about keeping president's in employment. The AFC president is elected for four-year terms. VA is a service provided by AFC for national and provincial associations who request it. AFC doesn't go into countries and demand that they take it up. If associations want VA, AFC will help out. They will provide associations with best practices in administration, coaching, refereeing, leagues etc using models from some of the leading countries in the world. If countries don't want it, they don't have to take it. For instance, now all associations must adopt FIFA Standard statutes so that each association is democratic and fair. Vision Asia can help in this. If they need coaching help, AFC can show them how to set up coach education and accreditation systems. They can show associations how best to run a league. For instance, provincial leagues have started up in China, Iran, India and other places, with the emphasis on clubs who have their own stadium etc. VA is simply a service AFC offers that associations can take advantage of, if they want to. Thanks
