NEW DELHI: The Asian qualifying tournament for the World Cup is set to resume in October after the coronavirus pandemic forced games in March and June to be postponed.
The Asian Football Confederation says it agreed with FIFA to schedule two dates in October and two in November to complete the current groups.
The AFC says the planned schedule must comply with "government travel and medical restrictions" in the 40 countries taking part. Twelve teams will advance to a further group stage next year. Agencies
