Troubled region

Unfortunately, in People's Republic of China cannot be played international matches at the moment due to the well known situation with the mysterious (deadly) virus thus they are going to be shifted in other, safe countries. As this is very serious, last week the Asian football organization took precautionary steps. The women qualifying football tournament for the Olympic games this summer, which supposed to be played in Wuhan, later Nanjing, is completely moved to Sydney. After Australia has been confirmed as a host six days ago, dates for this competition stayed the same (03 - 09 February).
Completely different kind of situation was in Islamic Republic of Iran. Preliminary duels for Champions league in the continent are already underway, so two clubs had to play their games elsewhere. Rising war tensions in that part of the region has prompted several governments to issue security warnings to its citizens not to travel to the Persian state. Neutral venue was chosen for Shahr Khodro - Riffa and Esteghlal - Kuwait, and these duels who were scheduled for past Tuesday finally played four days ago in United Arab Emirates.
