VOV.VN - Vietnam have been drawn into Group E alongside China, Lebanon, and Hong Kong (China) for the 2026 AFC Futsal Asian Cup qualifiers, following the official draw held by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) on June 26 in Malaysia.
Group E matches will be hosted in Hangzhou, China, this September. China and Lebanon, both of whom have ramped up investment in futsal in recent years, are expected to be tough opponents for Vietnam in the race for a place in the final round.
Vietnam finished seventh overall at last year’s Asian Cup, narrowly missing out on qualification for the 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup.
The qualifiers for the 2026 tournament feature 31 teams divided into eight groups. They will compete in a round-robin format, with the top team from each group and the seven best second-placed teams advancing to the final round. That stage will also serve as the Asian qualifying tournament for the 2028 FIFA Futsal World Cup.
VOV.VN - Vietnam were eliminated from the 2025 AFC Women’s Futsal Championship after a 0-2 loss to Japan in the quarterfinals in China on May 13, thereby missing out on a ticket to the 2025 FIFA Women’s Futsal World Cup.
