BANGKOK (8 Jan 2013) – Datuk Worawi Makudi, the president of the FA of Thailand (FAT) plans to introduce the Futsal Continental Cup in November 2013. Hoping to maintain their stranglehold in ASEAN and also compete against the best teams in Asia, the Continental Cup will see six continental champions taking part.
The six continental champions from Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania will do battle against FIFA World Cup champions Brazil and hosts Thailand.
The eight teams will be divided into two groups of four each for the cross-over semi-finals and then on to the final.
“We will stage the AFF Futsal Championship in October at the Hua Mark Indoor Stadium and Nimibutr Stadium before the Continental Cup. It’ll be a dress rehearsal for our team before the big event, which we intend to stage every year,” said Worawi (pix).
The Futsal Continental Cup has been slated for 1-10 November 2013.
