First round of new qualifying campaign

While the best 12 Asian teams are playing qualifiers for the World Cup in Russia next year, the 'others' from the continent are even struggling to get on the Asian Cup. Playing on the same day, 24 'lower' teams will try to impress us with these new qualifiers which will last exactly one year. The opening game looked very promising and we hope to continue the same over the next 365 days. As earlier was announced two teams will have a rest on the start.
