Football Notes: AFC Reiterates Warning About Third-Party Interference

The Asian Football Confederation "reiterated its warning to member associations to remain independent of third-party interference, saying it hindered the game's growth in the region." The AFC did not refer to any specific country or region, however "Indonesia was suspended" from int'l football in May after the government attempted to replace the country's FA and Kuwait was banned in October because of alleged government interference in the sport (GLOBAL TIMES, 4/6).

Tottenham's Premier League match with ManU at White Hart Lane "has been delayed after the visitors' bus got stuck in traffic."

Tottenham posted on its official Twitter account: "Kick-off is DELAYED until 4.15pm as the @ManUtd team bus is stuck in traffic" (REUTERS, 4/10).
