In preparation for the biggest-ever AFC Asian Cup in history, the Asian Football Confederation's (AFC) Media Channel, an integrated, one-stop hub, for all media services, is enhancing its features to ensure a world-class experience for accredited media representatives of all categories as the attention shifts to the 17th edition of Asia's crown jewel in the UAE next month.
Redesigned to fit the theme of the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 Brand Guide, members of the media will be able to submit their applications for the specific matches they wish to cover through the revamped site while photographers will be given the added opportunity to select their pitch side seats via an interactive seat selection platform.
"We are fully committed towards staging the best-ever AFC Asian Cup for our passionate fans, players and teams and our success relies significantly on the continued support from all our stakeholders. Our friends from the media are a valued partner in this journey and they play a crucial role in helping the AFC grow the stature of our competitions, as underlined in the AFC's Vision and Mission," said Dato' Windsor John, AFC General Secretary.
"We want to provide the best possible environment for all our stakeholders and ensuring a world-class platform for our media representatives, through the enhanced Media Channel, will help us in realising those ambitions."
The site will also include a section which will comprise a selection of original content produced by the-AFC.com, which may include selected audio and video compilations, presenting members of the media with access to quality, up-to-date and in-demand interviews, features and highlights throughout the 28-day competition.
Constantly equipped with the latest information, the new-and-improved AFC Media Channel will also provide pertinent team and operational related updates, which include the latest schedules for training, media conferences, events, media shuttles, media hotel information, team guides as well as access to the latest AFC media releases.
The Host Broadcasters and Rights Holders will continue to get access through AFC's Commercial Partners Lagardère Sports.
