FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) have jointly decided that the matches between Yemen and Singapore in the Asian men’s preliminary qualifiers for the London 2012 Olympics will be played at the Khalifa Stadium, Al Ain Club (Al Ain City) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on March 19th 21st, 2011.
FIFA and the AFC had earlier decided that both legs of the first round must be played on neutral territory to ensure that matches proceed “in a totally safe and secure environment”. Yemen will technically host the first-leg match on March 19th whereas Singapore will be “at home” for the second-leg match on March 21st.
Due to the Olympic qualifiers, the following S.League matches involving the Young Lions have been postponed to a later date.
