The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) announced Aspetar Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Hospital as the Premier Partner for its 8th AFC Medical Conference, which will be held from July 21 to 25, 2025, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Aspetar, a FIFA and AFC accredited Medical Centre of Excellence, is a global leader in sports medicine and science, and has been a long-standing supporter of the AFC, collaborating on several landmark medical projects over 15 years.
The AFC Medical Conference, launched in 1995 in Tokyo, is a platform for knowledge exchange among medical professionals, researchers, and football stakeholders.
AFC General Secretary Datuk Seri Windsor John said: “The AFC is proud to welcome Aspetar as a Premier Partner of the 8th AFC Medical Conference, as we continue our pursuit of the highest standards in football medicine across Asia.
“Aspetar has consistently led the way in athlete care, not just within the context of Asia, but also as a respected institution in the global sports medicine community.”
The Kuala Lumpur Conference will cover artificial intelligence in sports medicine, muscle injuries in football, insights from the FIFA World Cup 2022, sports dentistry, and high-performance rehabilitation, as well as explore emerging areas such as genomics and women’s football.
Dr. Abdulaziz Jaham Al-Kuwari, CEO of Aspetar and a member of the Conference’s Organising and Scientific Committee, said: “As a member of the organising and scientific committee, I am proud to help shape a programme that integrates cutting-edge research, clinical innovation, and practical applications to foster collaborative solutions addressing the unique challenges faced by athletes today.”
