In response to the Premier League’s plan to play an 'international round' of fixtures in January 2011, Bin Hammam said: "It is my belief that it is not a good idea to organise domestic leagues in other territories other than their own. If this principle is accepted, then the FA Premier League must accept reciprocal arrangements within their own territory. My recommendation to the AFC Executive Committee would be to reject any initiatives of this nature."
Hammam said Asians should focus on building their domestic leagues rather than hosting overseas teams in non-exhibition matches.
