DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--One World Sports presents the Championship Match of the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2011 between Australia and Japan on Pay-Per-View.

“This is destined to be a classic match-up.”

The Championship Match will be available to more than 65 million U.S. TV households as a result of distribution agreements executed by One World Sports with leading cable and satellite groups in the U.S. The Championship Match will be distributed live exclusively in High Definition in English and Arabic on Saturday, January 29 at 10 a.m. EST.
