Losing to Uzbekistan futsal in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Asian Futsal Championship, the Vietnamese futsal team had to enter the play-off round to compete for tickets to the 2024 Futsal World Cup.
Accordingly, the 4 losing teams in the quarterfinals will be divided into 2 pairs of play-off semi-finals. The two winners of the play-off semi-finals will meet in the play-off final. The winning team in the play-off final will qualify for the 2024 Futsal World Cup.
The first gate for Vietnamese futsal will be Kyrgyzstan. On the FIFA rankings, Vietnam’s futsal team is ranked 44th, 5 places higher than Kyrgyzstan.
However, this is only a parameter for reference only. In fact, Vietnamese futsal is not really stronger than Kyrgyzstan.
Especially when witnessing the Kyrgyzstan team play extremely well in the 2024 Asian Futsal Championship. In the group stage, Kyrgyzstan futsal defeated the defending champion Japan.
However, Vietnamese fans are still confident that coach Diego Giustozzi and his team will successfully overcome difficulties. Up to this point at the 2024 Asian Futsal Championship, the Vietnamese futsal team has played quite impressively and made a lot of progress. If they maintain their form like the past matches, the Vietnamese futsal team has a chance to win.
In the remaining play-off semi-finals, the Iraqi futsal team will face Afghanistan. In theory, the Iraqi futsal team is rated higher. However, the Iraqi futsal team needs to be very careful if they do not want to pay a high price.
