Fifaworldcup - Korea Republic and Iran have
rescheduled their Asian Cup qualifier from 1 March to early September to
allow them to better prepare for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™.
The two teams are set to meet in a Group B Asian Cup qualifying match in
Korea Republic, but they have followed the example of fellow FIFA World Cup
contenders Australia, Japan and Saudi Arabia by rescheduling the game.
The 2007 Asian Cup Organising Committee gave FIFA World Cup teams the option
of pushing back their qualifying matches, the Asian Football Confederation
reported on its website.
The first round of qualifying matches get underway on 22 February.
