Participation of women spectators is not an essential condition for Saudi Arabia to host Asia Cup soccer tournament in 2019, a spokesman of the Saudi Football Federation said on Sunday.
"The Asian Football Federation does not put such a condition," Adnan Al-Muaibed told the local press, adding that the Kingdom had opened its stadiums to supporters of different foreign teams in the past. "We'll not prevent anybody and we'll not interfere in this matter," the spokesman said, stressing that it should not disqualify the Kingdom to host the event.
Higher authorities have endorsed Saudi plans to bid for hosting the event. This is the first time the Kingdom is making such an effort to hold the largest football event in Asia. Bahrain, China, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Thailand, and the UAE are also bidding for Asia Cup.
