After the first 2 matches in the 2026 Asian Futsal Qualifiers, the Vietnam futsal team won all 6 points with 2 wins.
Coach Diego Giustozzi and his team defeated Hong Kong (China) 9-1 and China 7-2. This result helps Vietnam lead Group E with a very good goal difference of+3.
Meanwhile, Lebanon is in 2nd place with 4 points. This team won 2-1 against China and drew 1-1 with Hong Kong (China).
The two bottom positions are Hong Kong (China) and China) with 1 point and 0 points respectively.
The 2026 Asian Futsal Championship has 31 teams, divided into 8 groups (7 groups with 4 teams and 1 group with 3 teams). According to the competition format, the top 8 teams and the 7 best second-placed teams will qualify for the Asian futsal finals with host Indonesia.
Because Group H only has 3 teams, the results of the second-placed team with the bottom team will not be taken into account when considering the second-placed teams with the best results.
Therefore, the Vietnam futsal team needs to maintain its top position in the group to secure a place in the next round. The task of Thinh Phat and his teammates is to get a result from a draw to a win against Lebanon in the final match.
In case of losing to Lebanon, the Vietnamese team will fall to second place in the group and have to wait for consideration with other groups.
