      • Sinal verde para nova região da SWAFF ajudar mais nações a se classificarem para a Copa do Mundo   
      • Entre os 13 membros fundadores estão Índia, Paquistão, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Arábia Saudita, Bahrein e Emirados Árabes Unidos 
      • Iniciativa da SWAFF é celebrada como marco no desenvolvimento das nações da nova fronteira do futebol
      • "Queremos ver mais nações da região representadas em grandes competições internacionais de futebol, inclusive na Copa do Mundo, e queremos que marquem presença no futebol mundial." Dr. Adel Ezzat, presidente da Federação Saudita de Futebol

      Já se iniciaram as atividades de planejamento para desenvolver o futebol na nova fronteira do esporte mais popular do mundo todo. O potencial esportivo, comunitário e comercial está sendo desenvolvido no sul e no oeste da Ásia.

      Os presidentes de federações de futebol de países do sul e do oeste da Ásia se reuniram em Jedá na quinta-feira, tendo a participação de um alto funcionário da FIFA como observador, para iniciarem o processo formal de fundação de um novo órgão que será chamado de Federação de Futebol do Sudoeste da Ásia (South West Asian Football Federation, SWAFF). 

      Os países representados na reunião foram Paquistão, Sri Lanka, Índia, Nepal, Bangladesh, Arábia Saudita, Bahrein, Maldivas, Iêmen, Omã, Kuwait e Emirados Árabes Unidos.

      A nova organização foi projetada para elevar a qualidade do futebol para pessoas de todas as idades, sexos e habilidades na região, que abrange algumas das maiores nações da nova fronteira do futebol, como Índia, Bangladesh e Paquistão. Ela marca a próxima etapa na evolução do futebol mundial.

      "As nações do sul e do oeste da Ásia querem trabalhar entre si para fazerem o futebol crescer na região e para poderem competir com mais igualdade em futuras Copas do Mundo e torneios internacionais", disse após a reunião o presidente da Federação Saudita de Futebol, Dr. Adel Ezzat.

      Conforme o Dr. Ezzat, a Arábia Saudita está empenhada em ajudar a fazer o futebol crescer e receber mais recursos na nova região. 

      A reunião histórica anuncia o surgimento de uma nova era para construir a competitividade e a capacidade futebolística dos países apaixonados por esporte do sul e do oeste da Ásia.

      "A iniciativa da SWAFF é um marco no desenvolvimento do futebol no Paquistão e em outras nações, e não há dúvida de que esta é uma nova fronteira do futebol", disse o presidente da Federação Paquistanesa de futebol, Makhdoom Faisal Hayat.

      A Arábia Saudita é o único país da região classificado para a Copa do Mundo da FIFA 2018. A seleção enfrentará a Rússia na partida de abertura da competição máxima do futebol mundial.

      "Queremos ver a região marcar presença no futebol internacional", disse o Dr. Ezzat.

      O novo órgão planeja trabalhar com parceiros, governos, federações e outras partes interessadas na região para estabelecer novas instalações, centros de formação de categorias de base e competições de futebol. Tudo será desenvolvido em harmonia e em colaboração com a FIFA, a AFC e as federações de futebol do sul e do oeste da Ásia, e dentro dos compromissos, cronogramas e estruturas de futebol atuais.

      "Quando falamos sobre governança (...), a FIFA está realmente apoiando e incentivando tais iniciativas (...), e o próprio Gianni (Infantino, presidente da Fifa) também acolheu a iniciativa", disse o vice-presidente da Federação Emiradense de Futebol, Abdulla Aljunaibi.

      Os recursos obtidos com novos torneios e programas comerciais serão reinvestidos no desenvolvimento do futebol para ajudar a gerar um novo setor e uma nova cultura futebolística autossuficiente e totalmente transparente nos países-membros.
