International football competition

The 2024 AFC Futsal Asian Cup was the 17th edition of the AFC Futsal Asian Cup, the biennial international futsal championship organised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for the men's national teams of Asia. The tournament was held in Thailand between 17 and 28 April.[1]

A total of 16 teams competed in the tournament. Japan, the defending champions, were eliminated in the group stage for the first time. Iran claimed their thirteenth Futsal Asian Cup after winning the final against the host Thailand 4–1. Uzbekistan defeated Tajikistan 3–1 on penalties following a 5–5 draw in the third place play-off.

Semi-finalists including Iran, Tajikistan and Thailand qualified for the 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup besides Uzbekistan who automatically qualified as host. As Uzbekistan reached the semi-finals, a play-off round was held to determine the last Asian spot at the Futsal World Cup. Afghanistan won the play-off round.

Many accomplishments were achieved at the tournament. Afghanistan made their debut and also advanced to the quarter-finals. In the group stage, Myanmar gained their first win, while South Korea gained their first point in 14 years. Tajikistan made their first appearance in the semi-finals, while Thailand reached the final for the first time in 12 years. All five teams from Central Asia advanced to the quarter-finals, with three of them reaching the semi-finals.

## Host selection

## Knockout stage

[edit]

All times are local, ICT (UTC+7).

In the knockout stage, extra time and penalty shoot-out are used to decide the winner if necessary, except for the third place match where penalty shoot-out without extra time is used to decide the winner if necessary (Regulations Article 10).[1]

The competition of the play-offs depended on the performance of Uzbekistan, who qualified automatically for the 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup as hosts. Uzbekistan advanced to the semi-finals, therefore the play-offs format was held for the remaining four quarter-final losers to play a single elimination play-off. The winner of the play-off 3 qualified the 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup.

## Team rankings

[edit]

As per statistical convention in futsal, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws.[10] The AFC published the tournament standings in August 2024.[11] Statistics in play-off matches for the 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup are included in this table. The team rankings will be used for seeding in the qualification draw and the final draw of the next edition.
