The change was proposed by the Chinese Football Association, it said. “We again wrote to the AFC on Monday and contacted AFC general secretary Dato Windsor John about our wish to change the game venue. Xinhua news agency on Monday reported that the Chinese Football Association had no plans to move the qualifying matches out of Wuhan. Separately yesterday, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported that qualifying boxing matches for Asia and Oceania for the Tokyo Games that were scheduled to take place in Wuhan next month have been canceled due to fears over the outbreak. The Tokyo Games organizing committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter.
