Games in the west of Asia had already been suspended prior to the announcement. The decision means matches due to be played in March and April in the confederation's other four zones around Asia - south, central, south east and east - have now also been postponed. "The AFC will closely monitor the situation before deciding when to recommence the 2020 AFC Cup season," the statement said.
