JAKARTA • Asian Football Confederation (AFC) President Mohamed bin Hammam vowed improvements to the Asian Cup as Qatar was officially confirmed yesterday as host country for the next tournament in 2011.

“The executive committee has decided that the 2011 Asian Cup will be hosted in Qatar,” said bin Hammam, himself a Qatari, who said the organisers gave an “outstanding presentation”.

A key concern is whether the small country can drum up enough fans to fill stadia after the Asian Games experience where most grounds were empty.
