The Confederation decided, surprisingly, and without prior notice, yesterday, to postpone the matches that were scheduled to start on October 8, and continue until next November, within the second leg of the World Cup qualifiers, to be held next year, and new dates will be set later. These matches had been deported since last March due to the Corona virus, to be postponed again.
The athletes told "Emirates Today" that "what happened was the summit of confusion and poor planning by the continental federation, as it hastened from the beginning to set new dates, despite the warnings," noting that this postponement caused great material losses for national federations, being She will be forced to cancel all her plans related to equipping her teams, after she incurred great material losses, whether in terms of contracting with technical equipment and coaches, or spending large sums of money in preparing preparation camps and otherwise.
