Sri Lankan Football President Jaswar Umar has been appointed to the AFC Development Committee, marking another major international recognition for Sri Lanka’s football leadership.
This appointment comes at a time when Sri Lanka is making remarkable progress in the Asian football landscape. Earlier this week, the world governing body FIFA appointed Jaswar Umar to the FIFA Grassroots and Amateur Football Committee, further underscoring his growing influence in regional and global football administration.
These successive appointments stand as a testimony to the growth and credibility of Sri Lankan Football under his leadership.
The AFC Development Committee plays a crucial role in overseeing development programs and funding across 47 member nations in Asia, shaping the future of football development in the region.
Jaswar Umar is currently attending the AFC Development Committee meeting being held today in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
