#ACFutsal2024 - Quarter-finalists decided
Bangkok: Defending champions Japan were the shock casualties as the AFC Futsal Asian Cup™ Thailand 2024 knockout stage was finalised on Monday.
Japan were eliminated after only managing a 1-1 draw with Tajikistan on Monday, which meant the four-time champions finished third in Group C while Afghanistan created history by advancing on their tournament debut. 

Leading the teams into the last eight stage were Islamic Republic of Iran, who topped Group D with a perfect record of three wins after defeating Kuwait 4-0 on Monday.
 
The 12-time champions will play Group C runners-up Kyrgyz Republic in the quarter-finals while Afghanistan advanced after a 3-2 win over Bahrain, with Tajikistan their last eight opponents.
Thailand, aiming to win the title on home soil, topped Group A and will face Group B runners-up Iraq in the quarter-finals.
 
Uzbekistan, who were unstoppable in Group B with three wins, will play Group A runners-up Vietnam.
