AFC Cup final venue shifted from North Korea to Kuala Lumpur

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has yet again changed the venue of the 2019 AFC Cup final. The match between DPR Korea's 4.25 SC and Lebanon's team Al Ahed was previously scheduled to take place in Pyongyang will now take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The decision was made following the country's irrational decision to back out from their World Cup Asian qualifying match against the Korea Republic earlier this month.
