Official Statement from the PFF and ABS-CBN Sports about AFC Challenge Cup coverage in Myanmar

In their desire to telecast the Azkals� matches in the Union of Myanmar in the Philippines as well to all the Filipinos in the world via TFC, Philippine Football Federation (PFF) and media partner ABS-CBN have been continuously communicating with the Myanmar Football Federation (MFF) and other agencies since March 3.


As of the end of office hours Friday in Yangon, however, MRTV, the Myanmar government�s television arm and official coveror of the football matches, has not yet secured the required permit to beam the game live via satellite. The next update from MRTV is expected Monday morning.

If a live satellite feed would not be possible, the PFF and ABS-CBN shall exhaust all means to secure a tape of the coverage and play it back at the earliest possible time.
