The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) today confirmed that a minute of silence will be observed before the start of each match in the upcoming matchday of both the AFC Champions League Elite and AFC Champions League Two.
Football venues across the continent will unite ahead of kick-off to offer condolences to the families who have lost loved ones and to show support for the ongoing recovery and relief efforts in the region.
This continent-wide tribute will be held across all fixtures scheduled from September 14 to September 17, 2026, to express unwavering solidarity with the people of Nepal following the recent devastating disaster.
The AFC invites all players, officials, and fans across Asia to unite in this moment of reflection, offering deep condolences to families who have lost loved ones and standing together with the nation during its recovery.
