KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP): The Asian Football Confederation has extended the deadline for Australia to submit its bid to host the 2015 Asian Cup by four months.
The announcement of Asian Cup host was originally scheduled for March, but Football Federation Australia now has until June 30 to make its submission so it can "continue discussions with various levels of Australian government and other stakeholders to formalize the relevant guarantees and facility agreements, which are part of the bid submission," the AFC said in a statement Thursday.
