Oman’s Al Masroori in AFC Monitoring Group

Muscat: Showing trust in the growing stature of the Sultanate’s football, the Asian Football Confederation has named an Omani official in the newly-formed Independent Monitoring Group.
According to information received from the Oman Football Association (OFA), the association’s first vice-chairman Mohsin Al Masroori will now be the part of three-member group.
The AFC has recently announced their decision to form an Independent Monitoring Group to oversee - along with external auditors - the Commercial Rights tender.
The tender was opened on February 1 and closes on March 29.
Mohsin is also a member of the AFC Marketing Committee. The Group also comprises Finance Commitee member Yuuichiro Nakajima of Japan and Audit and Compliance Committee member Kesvaran Murugasu of Malaysia.
According to the AFC, Deloitte will be the external auditors, who will monitor the management and operations of the process between the AFC Administration and bidders, while the AFC Audit and Compliance Committee recommended that the management and operations of the process between the Administration and the External Audit Company should be monitored by an Independent Monitoring Group.
Earlier, AFC chief Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa had said: “We have consistently promised that the AFC Executive Committee will be kept informed of all the major milestones and decisions to be taken in a process, which could secure the financial future of the organisation. We will deliver on that and I thank the Member Associations for their support.
“This is a busy and crucial year for the AFC as we will stage several major events – the AFC Women’s Asian Cup in Jordan between April 6 and 20, 2018, the 2019 AFC Asian Cup Final Draw on May 4, 2018 and then the AFC Congress to be held in Kuala Lumpur on October 31, 2018.
“The success of all these AFC events is crucial to the image, reputation and future viability of an organisation which has the stated aim of being a world leader among Confederations.”
