ASEAN Set for Four Places in AFC Futsal Championship 2014

DILI (31 May 2013) – Following the confirmation from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) today that the AFF Futsal Championship in October will serve as the ASEAN zone’s qualifying competition, there will be up to four places for grabs for teams in the region.

The city of Bangkok will be hosting the AFF Futsal Championship on 19-27 October with ten teams taking part.

With Thailand – a regular at the FIFA World Cup – having won the AFF Futsal Championship for a record eight times (2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2012), it is expected that it will be another victorious campaign for the homesters.

This means that three other teams from ASEAN will get the chance to play at the continental level with the likes of Indonesia, Australia, Vietnam and Malaysia as among the best bet for the remaining slots.
