Malaysian request

AFC Asian cup gathers the best 24 teams from Asia. Half of the teams are already known for 2019 edition and the other half will be known after additional preliminary games which will begin at the end of the month. These qualifiers did not even began and already at the start there are some problems...especially with one match so far.
And until now no one knows whether this game will be played (in its original schedule), cancelled or even switched to neutral venue. Final decision will be given from the Asian confederation until 13 March to know the fate whether North Korea and Malaysia will play in capital Pyongyang on Kim Il Sung stadium on 28 March. The draw before two months ago, who merged these two countries together in group B, was not even predictable nowadays to act hostile towards each other. It all started with the poisoning of North Korean president half-brother at the Malaysian airport only to further deteriorate last Saturday when Malaysia expels North Korean ambassador from the country. Because of these developments the Malaysian government has barred the team to travel to North Korea stating security reasons. The initiator was from the minister of youth and sports Khairy Jamaluddin. Therefore, Malaysia FA secretary general Hamidin Mohd Amin sent a letter to the Asian football organization, with giving all the explanation, requesting that the match should be moved on neutral venue. 'We expect a decision by the end of this week' he said.
