Also, Red Futsal team will join the qualification of AFC Asian Futsal Championship in Kuwait in 2022. The qualifications will take place in April 2022.
On the other hand, Thailand are making their final preparations as they will play at the 2021 Fifa Futsal World Cup in Lithuania, which is scheduled to take place from September 12 to October 3. Thiland team is grouped in Group C alongside Portugal, Morocco, and Solomon Islands.

Due to impact of the Covid-19 outbreak, the Sultanate futsal team was absent from training for the last six months after the cancellation of the 2020 AFC Asian Futsal Championship in Kuwait but host country Kuwait will have all the rights to host the forthcoming edition in 2022.
