AFC president Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said of the deal: “The integrity of sport is not negotiable.

“It is a crucial cornerstone to protecting the sport for future generations. At the AFC we are not content to just address this key area. We want to do everything we can to protect Asian football, to protect football in each country in Asia and to lead by example.

“Sportradar has proven to be a valuable partner in that objective and in our vision."

The AFC’s partnership with Sportradar, first formed in 2013, has been extended for two years. The new agreement will cover more than 4,500 matches across Asia each year through the specifically developed AFC Monitoring System.

This coverage will include all AFC competitions and the top professional leagues in each of the AFC’s member associations.
