首届东盟杯（不要与现有的现代东盟杯混淆）可能不会长久留在记忆中，但国际足联主席看到了好处。
随着国际足联主席选举日益临近，詹尼·因凡蒂诺游历亚洲成员协会恐非巧合。
The inaugural Asean Cup, not to be confused with the existing Hyundai Asean Cup, may not live long in the memory but Fifa president sees benefit It’s probably not a coincidence, what with Fifa’s presidential election getting closer all the time, but Gianni Infantino has been sweeping through Asian member associations.
他出席了澳门新总部落成典礼，在蒙古签署建设新国家体育场协议，在乌兹别克斯坦揭幕国际足联竞技场迷你球场。这些明智之举因亚洲在世界足坛最高职位争夺中仍存分歧。
There he was attending a ceremony in Macau to inaugurate new headquarters,g an agreement in Mongolia to build a new national stadium and in Uzbekistan to open a Fifa Arena mini-pitch. All wise moves as Asia is still divided when it comes to the battle for the biggest job in world football.
多个协会已表态支持现任主席；另一些公开反对；一些将待另一候选人出现后决定；一些将追随亚足联（AFC）领导层反对因凡蒂诺；还有一些将静观其变。
A number of associations have expressed support for the incumbent; others have openly opposed him; some will decide upon seeing the other candidate; some will follow the lead of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) leadership and vote against Infantino; others will just wait.
因凡蒂诺此行高潮是首届国际足联东盟杯两场决赛，这是一项面向东南亚及少数受邀嘉宾的新赛事。
The culmination of Infantino’s trip were the two finals of the inaugural Fifa Asean Cup, a new tournament for south-east Asia and a few invited guests.
周六在香港举行的东盟挑战杯（第二级赛事）决赛中，因凡蒂诺遭遇“国际足联黑手党”呼声；但48小时后在印尼举行的主赛事决赛中，这位56岁主席受到稍热烈的欢迎。
In Saturday’s final of the Asean Challenge Cup, the second-tier event held in Hong Kong, Infantino was greeted with chants of “Fifa Mafia”, but 48 hours later in Indonesia for the main event the reception for the 56-year-old was a little warmer.
雅加达早已站在他一边，并通过赢得这项深具他个人印记的赛事，为因凡蒂诺送上大礼。
Jakarta is already onside and did Infantino a huge favour by winning a tournament that was very much his brainchild.
