Bangkok: As the countdown to Asia’s biggest club futsal tournament continues, we continue to preview the teams, must see matches and players to watch in each group.
Group C
NAFIT Al-Wasat (Iraq)
Dalian Yuan Dynasty (China)
Dibba Al Hissin (United Arab Emirates)
The Teams
NAFIT Al-Wasat
NAFIT Al-Wasat (pictured, above) had a debut tournament to remember in the 2015 AFC Futsal Club Championship. They confounded their low seeding, topped a perilously difficult group featuring Chonburi Blue Wave and Qatar’s Al Rayyan, and reached the semi-finals before being convincingly beaten 7-3 by eventual champions Tasisat Daryaei (pictured, below).
The first goalscorer for Tasisat that day, Iran’s Ghodrat Bahadori, will be lining up for NAFIT Al-Wasat in this edition of the tournament, and he will joined by a sizeable portion of the Iraq national team that reached the quarter-finals of the 2016 AFC Futsal Championship.
