In the announcement of the Asian Football Confederation AFC, the Vietnam futsal team (ranked 31st in the world ) is ranked in the number 1 seed group in the 2026 Asian Futsal Qualifiers. This is an important advantage in the journey to win a ticket to the final round (VCK) taking place in Indonesia from May 14 to 31, 2026.
Before that, the qualifying round will take place from September 16 to 24, 2025 with the participation of 31 teams, divided into 8 groups (6 groups of 4 teams and 2 groups of 3 teams). The top teams of each group and the 7 best second-placed teams will qualify for the final round.
Vietnam futsal team is in the same seed group with Iran, Japan, Thailand,...
Coach Diego Giustozzi and his team being placed in the top seed group helped Vietnamese futsal avoid strong opponents such as Iran, Japan, Thailand, Uzbekistan or Kuwait right from the group stage, increasing their chances of advancing deep into the tournament.
This is considered a recognition for the continuous efforts of coach Diego Giustozzi and his team in recent times. Before the qualifying round, the team had important preparations with two quality friendly opponents, Saudi Arabia (ranked 50th in the world) and Kazakhstan (ranked 7th in the world) in April.
Against opponents in the world's top 10, the Vietnamese futsal team won 1 match and drew 1 match.
Vietnam Futsal had important friendly matches in April.
In 2025, the big goal of the Vietnamese futsal team is the 33rd SEA Games and the 2025 Asian futsal qualifiers. Being in the top seed group not only creates a tactical advantage but also opens up a golden opportunity for the team to participate in the largest futsal playground in the continent.
