DOHA: AFC has banned journalists who accosted Iraq coach after Asian Cup exit on Sunday.
At the post-match press conference, some angry Iraqi journalists were seen shouting at head coach Jesus Casas and more than a dozen stormed out while pointing fingers at the Spanish coach.
“The AFC strongly condemns any type of unruly and aggressive behaviour and takes a zero-tolerance stance against such actions,” it said in a statement.
“(The AFC) have taken the swift decision to bar the responsible individuals from covering not only the AFC Asian Cup but also future AFC tournaments.”
