IR Iran turn on the power

Bangkok: Islamic Republic of Iran booked their place in the semi-finals of the AFC Futsal Asian Cup Thailand™ 2024 after defeating Kyrgyz Republic 6-1 in their last eight tie at the Bangkok Arena on Wednesday.

The win meant the 12-time champions also punched their ticket to the FIFA Futsal World Cup Uzbekistan 2024, with a meeting against Uzbekisttan or Vietnam in Friday’s semi-finals.

Kyrgyz Republic, meanwhile, will need to wait for the outcome of the day’s last quarter-final between Uzbekistan and Vietnam to learn whether their campaign has concluded, or they will return to action in Friday’s playoffs.
