๐ข Call for Fairness in AFC Final Venue Selection
We strongly believe that fairness is the foundation of football, especially in a continental final.
The upcoming final between Al Nassr FC and Gamba Osaka is scheduled to be played at Al-Awwal Park Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This situation creates a clear competitive imbalance because Al Nassr FC will effectively play with:
familiar home conditions
local fan support
no travel fatigue
Meanwhile, Gamba Osaka is placed at a disadvantage due to:
long-distance travel from Japan to Saudi Arabia
unfamiliar stadium conditions
reduced fan presence in the stadium
Even if the venue was selected in advance, the outcome still results in one finalist unintentionally gaining home advantage in a major continental final.
We respectfully urge the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to ensure that:
all future finals are played at fully neutral venues
no stadium belonging to a potential finalist country is used for a final
a fair and transparent hosting system is implemented
Football at this level should be decided purely by performance on the pitch โ not by location advantage.
Fairness must always come first.

To the young people of #Rwanda, being young is not enough. You cannot afford to waste any opportunity. Do not let the fear of failure or taking risks stand in the way of who you can be. Claim your rightful place in the world, no one will hand it to you
