Message from the CAFA President
Dear Members of the CAFA,
For the purpose of promoting football and friendship in the region, the Central Asian Football Association (CAFA) was established immediately after the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Football is the only organised medium that unifies the Central Asian region where political and historical issues are evident, and the role played by the CAFA is not to be taken lightly.
New powers such as the Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan are emerging in Asian football, and we see signs of a shift in the power map. Improving the national level of football will raise the overall quality of Asian football, and only then can Asia compete equally at the world’s top class level. With many countries that have competed in the FIFA World Cup, Central Asia have to be driving force of football in the Asian region. It is important to continue working hard together in friendly rivalry to further reinforce the level of Asian football.
More than half of the world’s population live in Asia. It should be noted that many companies based in Asia support the AFC and FIFA and their competitions. The growth of Central Asia increases the value of Asia in the global football market, and it is therefore imperative that we put our efforts into developing the marketing power of CentralAsian football.
Asia is emerging as a strong force in both men’s and women’s football. The solidarity of the Central Asian football members is more important than ever. Let us reconfirm our strong bond based on friendship and cooperation through mutual understanding and close communication.
As the new president of the CAFA, and I will live up to my responsibility with honour and pride. I look forward to working with you all.
H.E. Rustam Emomali
