We will always remember Pyae Sone Naing’s passion and cherish his service to the game,” the AFC president said.
“Thoughts and prayers of the AFC and rest of the Asian football family are with loved ones and friends of Pyae, MFF and Myanmar football community in this challenging time,” the AFC official commented.
