Asian Cup Organizers Condemn Saudi Piracy of TV Broadcasts

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Organizers of soccer's Asian Cup say they condemn Saudi-backed pirate broadcasts of games stolen from Qatari rights holder BeIN Sports.
The Asian Football Confederation says it ''already instructed counsel to take legal action in Saudi Arabia'' and is working with other sports bodies affected.
World soccer body FIFA and Europe's UEFA are also weighing action after persistent piracy of BeIN's rights to broadcast World Cup and Champions League games across the Middle East.
