Tuesday, 02 March 2010

KUALA LUMPUR: AFC has sent its congratulations to all teams who have reached the finals of the AFC Futsal Championship 2010 finals, following the end of the Asean qualifiers last week.

Vietnam became the last team to book their ticket to Tashkent following a 6-3 extra time victory over Malaysia in the third-place play-off.

“We wish to congratulate all (qualified) teams and we wish you all the best in the coming competition,” AFC General Secretary Alex Soosay wrote in a letter to the teams.

Teams who have qualified for the Finals are China, Korea Republic, Chinese Taipei, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Lebanon, Iraq, Kuwait, Uzbekistan (host), Iran, Thailand, Japan, Australia, Indonesia and Vietnam.

However, Iraq's participation is subject to the lifting of the suspension of the Iraq FA by FIFA.

The AFC Futsal Championship 2010 will be played in Tashkent from May 23 -30. The draw will take place on March 19 at the Intercontinental Hotel, Tashkent.

Nine-time Champions Iran defeated hosts Thailand 4-0 in the final two years ago.
