Tabriz: Thailand head coach Jose Mendez knows his side will have to pull out all the stops if they are to have a chance against Afghanistan, when the two meet in the AFC U-20 Futsal Championship IR Iran 2019 on Tuesday.
In terms of stats, Thailand were the best performers in the Group Stage, scoring 12 goals and only conceding three to finish top of Group B, but Mendez is expecting to face their toughest opponents thus far
“Our first target was to qualify for the quarter-finals, and now we have a very big challenge in front of us, the more-talented team of Afghanistan,” said Mendez.

Tabriz: It will be a meeting of familiar foes as Japan and Iraq face off in the AFC U-20 Futsal Championship IR Iran 2019 quarter-finals on Tuesday.
In the inaugural edition hosted by Thailand in 2017, Hamzah Abbas Zameet’s goal proved to be the difference as Iraq emerged victors.
Iraq would go on to reach the final before losing to Islamic Republic of Iran to place second and the class of 2019 are aiming to go one better.
This Iraqi squad has players with the experience of having played in the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics where they finished fifth, and head coach Ali Talib Muhammad is confident of his team’s chances against Japan.

Tabriz: It will be an all-Southeast Asian affair when Indonesia and Vietnam they meet in the AFC U-20 Futsal Championship IR Iran 2019 quarter-finals at the Pour Sharifi Stadium on Tuesday.
There is a lot of history between the two teams with regular meetings in Southeast Asian tournaments.
Two years ago, the two teams were drawn in the same group of the AFC U-20 Futsal Championship, where they settled for a 1-1 draw, but the inaugural edition was a bitter memory for the Vietnamese side as they missed out on the knockout stage.
The tug-of-war continued in the ASEAN Zone Qualifiers last December as Vietnam bounced back from a goal down to salvage a 3-3 draw with Indonesia.
