Vietnam to host Asian football Olympic playoffs
Vietnam will host the Asian football qualifying playoffs for the London 2012 Olympic Games, says the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
According to the regional governing body for football, Malaysia had previously been chosen to host the event but renovations to the proposed Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur made the AFC eye a new destination for the qualifiers.
As scheduled, runners-up in the three third-round groups will play each other in a round-robin format and the winner will face Senegal in a match for a ticket to London.
