@Renaldo Dubois,
What I think is that your source was just about football. And that's what I responded to.
I have no idea about FIFA regulations vs AFC (Asian Football Confederation) regulations. I could imagine that this is something for the Tribunal Arbitral du Sport (Court of Arbitration for Sport) in Geneve.
Are you an expert in sports laws especially in football [soccer] laws? Do you know better or more?
