Indonesia triumph in Infantino's Asian brainchild but real impact could be votes

Indonesia won the inaugural Fifa Asean Cup as Infantino courts Asian votes ahead of his re-election bid.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino attended the inaugural Asean Cup finals in Indonesia, a tournament he created for south-east Asian nations. Indonesia won the main event in Jakarta, providing Infantino with a diplomatic win as he campaigns for re-election. The visit was part of a broader tour through Asian member associations, including stops in Macau, Mongolia and Uzbekistan, as Infantino seeks to secure votes from a divided Asian Football Confederation ahead of the presidential election.
