Set to take place in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand Terminal21 Korat from 2-10 November 2024, the Futsalroos have been drawn into Group B alongside Indonesia, Myanmar, and Cambodia.

The squad consists of a mix of new and established players with Jonathan Barzel (Football NSW) returning to the national fold for the first time since 2022, while Peter Politis (Football NSW) and Corey Sewell (Football VIC) are in-line to make their debut for the Men’s National Futsal team.

They will then take on Indonesia on Tuesday, 5 November at 1.00pm local time (5.00pm AEDT), before rounding off their group stage campaign with a clash against Cambodia on Wednesday, 6 November at 10.30am local time (2.30pm AEDT).

Futsalroos’ Head Coach Miles Downie spoke about the importance of participating in international tournaments for the growth and improvement of the squad.

“Our group presents some tough opposition with Indonesia, Myanmar, and Cambodia. We know these teams have quality; however, we are focused on executing our own game plan and showcasing the best version of the Futsalroos,” Downie said.

“The ASEAN Futsal Championships is a key tournament for us, not only for the chance to compete against top quality teams but also in terms of player development. It’s a fantastic opportunity for the team to once again test themselves on the international stage.

“This squad has so much potential. We have a good mix of experience and young talent, and if we play to our strengths, I believe we can go far in this tournament.”

The top two teams from each group will advance to the Semi-Finals on Friday, 8 November, with the winners of Group A facing the runners-up of Group B, and the winners of Group B meeting the runners-up of Group A. The tournament will conclude on Sunday, 10 November, with the third-place playoff followed by the Final.

The Futsalroos will depart on Wednesday, 23 October for a pre-tournament camp in Bangkok before relocating to Nakhon Ratchasima on Saturday, 2 November to prepare for their first match of the tournament.
