JAKARTA (JP): The Qatar soccer team put off a friendly match
with the Indonesian team which was scheduled for Friday as part
of the training program for the upcoming Asian Cup in Beirut,
Lebanon, from Oct. 12 to Oct. 29.

Spokesman of the All Indonesian Soccer Federation (PSSI) Eddie
Elison said on Monday that the Qatar team had to return home
after finishing its Asian tour in Bangkok on Monday.

"The team originally wanted to play against us as part of its
Asian tour after playing Thailand. But the team has to wait for
three days before competing against us in the friendly. So it
changed its mind and went back home."

Eddie said the national team would test the Singaporean soccer
team as a warmup before the Asian Cup. "We're still setting a
date for the match, but it might be some time after June 20," he
said. (ivy)
