Australia’s path to the AFC Futsal Asian Cup™ 2024 has been confirmed, following a draw conducted at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Thursday.
A total 31 teams were drawn into eight groups with the eight group winners and seven best second-placed teams among all groups qualifying for the AFC Futsal Asian Cup™ 2024.
These 15 teams will join the Host Member Association (MA), to be determined at a later stage and who will receive automatic qualification, to form the final cast at the tournament.
The Futsalroos have been drawn into Group H alongside Japan, and hosts Chinese Taipei.
The three-team group will play their Qualifiers from October 7 to 11 this year.
The Futsalroos were last in action at the AFF Futsal Championship 2022 in Thailand, marking the team’s first participation in an international competition since 2019.
