Sasha Ognenovski became № 1 player in Asia

Australian defender Sasa Ognenovski was voted No. 1 player of the year the Asian confederation, said from headquarters. 31-year Ognenovski brought his team Seonyam Ilhva (Republic of Korea) to victory in the final of Asian Champions League, played this month. "To be among the 15 is the best was an honor for me. To win the award for player No. 1 is something unbelievable," said Ognenovski happiest.

Korean Park Ji-Sung, Australian Tim Cahill and Japanese Keysuke Honda were not nominated for the No. 1 player in the Asian confederation. The reason for this is the inability of the three to attend the awards ceremony in Kuala Lumpur. Asian Football Confederation nominated for player of the year only players who have the opportunity to attend the awards ceremony.
