	AFC chief tones down World Cup boycott threat Asian Economic News - Find Articles

		The sultan said the walkout in Los Angeles "should not be construed as a boycott of the 2002 World Cup." The AFC plans to discuss the latest developments in the issue, including correspondence between the sultan and Blatter, at an extraordinary congress in Kuala Lumpur on Oct. 10.
