DILI (19 June 2015) – ASEAN have been given a total of four slots for the AFC Futsal Championship that will be held in Uzbekistan in 2016.
Each zone was supposed to have only the top two teams making the cut for the AFC Futsal Championship next year.
But with powerhouse Thailand and Australia having gained automatic places into the AFC meet by virtue of finishing fifth and sixth in 2014, it has allowed ASEAN to have two more slots for contention.
The AFF Futsal Championship that will be hosted by Thailand on 8-18 Octoberis being used as the qualifying venue for the AFC meet.
Initially, there were supposed to be 11 teams taking part but following the suspension on Indonesia, it meant that there will now be only 10 participating teams.
