Vietnam to compete in play-off round to qualify for Futsal World Cup finals
VOV.VN - The Vietnamese national futsal team are set to join the likes of Thailand, Iraq, and Lebanon in competing in a play-off round as the four teams battle it out to make it to the finals of the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2021.
The teams, now ranking between fourth and seventh positions in the Asian region, are competing in the play-off round to select the best two teams to the FIFA Futsal World Cup alongside the region’s other finalists, including Iran, Japan, and Uzbekistan.
Ahead of the fixtures, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) will announce the time, venue, and competition format of the round.
The FIFA Futsal World Cup 2021 finals are scheduled to take place between September 12 and October 3 in Lithuania.
Despite the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Vietnamese national futsal team held two gatherings last year, including a training camp in Spain.
At present, local players are taking part in the National Futsal HDBank Championship 2021.
Following the AFC revealing the new schedule for the play-off round, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) will then plan a training camp ahead of the FIFA Futsal World Cup 2021.
