All ticket revenue from the Asian Cup semi-finals on Tuesday will be donated to help flood victims in Australia, Sri Lanka and Thailand, organisers said. A joint statement by Asian Football Confederation (AFC) president Mohamed Bin Hammam and Qatar Football Association (QFA) chief Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Bin Ahmed Al Thani said the flooding had been tragic.
"Our thoughts and wishes go to all those who suffer in our fellow Asian nations of Australia, Thailand and Sri Lanka, recently struck by flooding and national disasters," it said.
