MANILA, Philippines – Studio 23 will air the Philippine Azkals' match against Myanmar on Wednesday night, ABS-CBN Sports has announced.
In its official Facebook page, ABS-CBN Sports said Monday's match, which kicked off the Azkals' bid in the AFC Challenge Cup group stage, will be shown on the free TV channel on Wednesday at 10:15 p.m.
A replay of the match will be shown on Thursday 3 p.m also on Studio 23.
ABS-CBN Sports, however, said the airing is still subject to some issues.
It stressed that the video quality of the match "is far from the best as it was shot by Myanmar Radio and Television (MRTV)."
Earlier, ABS-CBN and the Philippine Football Federation relayed efforts in asking permission from the Myanmar government for a live TV coverage of the Azkals' match.
However, Myanmar, a nation ruled by a military junta since 1962, maintained strict policies on the media.
This was evident after MRTV, a government-owned station tasked to cover the event, was not granted by the higher authorities the permission to beam the matches live via satellite to the Philippines.
Meanwhile, the Azkals are still in Myanmar hoping to top their group.
The Azkals will next face the Palestine Al-Fusan (The Fighters) on Wednesday, and the Bangladesh Bengal Tigers on Friday.
The Philippines, which clinched a single point with the 11 draw against Myanmar draw, will need to bag at least 4 more points to advance to the next phase of the Challenge Cup.
The Azkals have to either win at least their last two remaining matches or win one match and draw the remaining other, depending on the results of the other games in the group.
