Afghanistan initiated their campaign to secure a place in the AFC Futsal Asian Cup Thailand 2024 with a resounding victory of 18-2 over Macau in Group B during the Qualifiers held on Wednesday.
The Qualifiers for the Asian Futsal Cup are being hosted by Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan was drawn into Group B, alongside national futsal teams from Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Macau.
In their inaugural match, Afghanistan’s national futsal team displayed their skill by defeating Saudi Arabia with a final score of 3-2.
