TOKYO, Oct. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today that it has signed a contract to be the Official Timekeeper with its G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches for the AFF Suzuki Cup 2020. This is the first time Casio is partnering with South East Asia’s most prestigious championship, which is played by 10 qualified teams across the ASEAN countries.

The AFF Suzuki Cup is a biennial football tournament organized by the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF). Following the postponement of the tournament this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the AFF recently announced that the AFF Suzuki Cup 2020 will be held from 11 April to 8 May next year. The decision had been taken with a firm intention to stage the Championship in its full format – played on a home and away basis across the qualifying nations in South East Asia – provided that the conditions relating to Covid-19 allow. In the 2018th edition, the tournament had increased the popularity of football significantly, drawing more than 750,000 spectators.
