The qualifiers for the Asian Championships of the Five-Player Football Championship, the two groups in West Asia and the play-offs, the two groups in Southeast Asia, and the two groups in East Asia have all ended. In addition, the group matches of Uzbek and Tajikistan in Group B of Central Asia have both won in both games. In this way, 13 of the 16 seats in the Asian Championship finals have been confirmed. Among them, the Chinese team won all three games in Group A in East Asia and advanced directly.
Since there are only 3 places to directly advance in the East Asian region, the Chinese team can only ensure that they qualify if they win the first place in the group. In another group, Japan defeated South Korea. If the Chinese team loses in the third game of the group, it is likely to compete with South Korea for the last place to qualify in East Asia.
8-2. Although the Chinese team conceded 2 goals, they still defeated Taipei, China, who scored 4 points in the first two rounds. In this way, the Chinese team ranked first in Group A with all the three wins, thus successfully pulling out of the group. Mongolia ranked second and will participate in the play-offs.
South Korea lost to Japan 2-4 in Group B of East Asia, so Japan will advance directly with the Chinese team.
It is worth mentioning that South Korea is not strong in , , 5-a-side football match. Although they reached the final circle in the last game, they not only lost all three games in the group stage, but also included a 2-13 defeat to Uzbek. The strong Korean players have very average strength in futsal football. The Australian team is also facing the same situation as them. In Group B of Southeast Asia, Australia, with tall and powerful people, lost to Vietnam and Indonesia, and did not even qualify in the group stage.
In another game, the third UAE in two groups in West Asia competed with Oman for the last qualifying spot. In the end, Oman defeated the UAE 5-1 and became the fifth team to qualify in West Asia.
As of now, 13 teams have successfully advanced to the finals of the five-a-side Asian Championships. They are:
East Asia: China, Japan
Southeast Asia: Thailand, Myanmar , Indonesia, Vietnam
West Asia: Oman, Kuwait , Bahrain , Lebanon , Saudi
Central Asia and South Asia: Uzbek, Tajikistan
The two groups in Central Asia and South Asia have not yet ended completely, but in Group A, Uzbek and Tajikistan both won all two games, so they successfully advanced.
There are only three teams in Group B in Central and South Asia, namely Iran , Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan . Iran, the world's top 8, easily defeated Turkmenistan 4-0 in the first game of the qualifiers, and it was only a matter of time for them to qualify.
The last quota in East Asia will be generated between South Korea and Mongolia.
Although the Chinese team has qualified for the qualifiers, there is nothing to be happy about. Because the East Asia region it belongs to is the weakest, the number of qualifying places in the group is the smallest. In the next stage, the Chinese team may meet many strong teams.
Before the qualifiers began, the Chinese five-man football team had a warm-up match with Malaysia five-man football, and the two teams fought 4-4. In Southeast Asia B Zone, Malaysia lost to Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia in three consecutive games, scoring 8 goals and conceding 13 goals, ranking at the bottom of the group.
In the qualifiers, Thailand and Indonesia performed the most amazingly. Thailand scored 32 goals in three games of the qualifiers and conceded only 1 goal. In addition to the draw with Vietnam in the group stage, Indonesia won two other games, including a 8-3 victory over Australia. They are likely to be the opponents of the Chinese team in the finals.
