This means that Thailand's women's futsal team won the first ticket in Asia to the 2025 World Cup (excluding the host Philippines).

At the 2025 Asian Women's Futsal Championship, the two teams that pass the semi-finals (finalists) will get tickets to the 2025 World Cup. The remaining ticket will be for the team that wins the third-place match.

Although rated much higher than host China, Thailand did not have an easy victory.

Hataichanok scored to put Thailand ahead in the 11th minute, but then Fan Yuqiu and Cao Jiayi scored two goals in one minute (16), helping China lead Thailand 2-1.

However, the more they played, the more clearly the level of the two teams was shown.

In the second half, the Thai women's futsal team dominated and scored two goals to defeat China with a final score of 3-2. Jenjira scored for Thailand (minute 26), while the remaining goal was an own goal by Zhan Huimin of China (minute 33).

Reaching the final of the Asian Women's Futsal Championship is a historic milestone for Thailand. In the past, Thailand had never reached the final match of the Asian Women's Futsal Championship, despite being highly rated.

The Thai women's futsal team also made history as one of the teams participating in the first Futsal World Cup.

As for China, the host team of the 2025 Asian Women's Futsal Championship, there is no need to be too regretful. They can still win a ticket to the 2025 World Cup if they win the third-place match. China's opponent will be the loser of the match between Japan and Iran.
