Which seed group is Vietnamese women’s futsal in?
There are 12 teams entering the final round (finals) of Asian women’s futsal 2025, including host China, defending champions Iran and Thailand (seeded group No. 1); Japan, Vietnam, Uzbekistan (group 2); Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong (seeded group No. 3); Bahrain, Philippines and Australia (group 4).
The Vietnamese women’s futsal team may fall into a group full of Southeast Asian teams at the 2025 Asian Futsal Championship finals.
The seeding is based on the ranking of the teams according to the FIFA rankings. Principles for drawing the group stage of the 2025 Asian Futsal Championship finals: there will be a total of 3 groups, each group has 4 teams, the teams in each group come from different seed groups, so that each group has enough representatives of all four seed groups.
According to this principle, in theory, all four Southeast Asian teams could fall into the same group at the finals. If that happens, this will be a rare case in the history of football in the region.
Seeded groups at the Asian futsal tournament
In the case of 4 Southeast Asian teams including Thailand (ranked 6th FIFA), Vietnam (ranked 11th), Indonesia (24th) and the Philippines (59th) in the same group at the Asian Championship finals, what is the team’s chance of passing the group stage? Vietnamese women’s futsal will increase significantly. Although Thailand is the highest-ranked women’s futsal team in Southeast Asia on the FIFA rankings, the Vietnamese women’s futsal team is the defending champion of the regional women’s futsal tournament.
According to the rules of the 2025 Asian Women’s Futsal Championship, teams compete in a round robin in the group stage, scoring and ranking. The top 2 teams in each group, along with the 2 best third-place teams, will qualify for the quarter-finals. From the quarter-finals, matches will take place in a knockout format after 1 match.
The finals of the 2025 Asian Futsal Championship will take place from May 7-18, in China. The 3 teams with the highest rankings in this year’s Asian tournament (not including the World Cup host, the Philippines), will participate in the 2025 Women’s Futsal World Cup, taking place later this year.
