AFC Acting President’s Message 

Dear friends, 

Futsal has made strong inroads into Asia and the top-notch competition witnessed during the AFC Futsal 

Championship UAE 2012 provided ample proof of the ambitions of AFC’s Member Associations to lift this prestigious 

title. 

The hard-fought games showed one and all that Asian teams have evolved over the years and as the results proved, 

none of the teams are invincible now. 

The emergence of Australia and Kuwait, and Thailand’s shock upset of 10-time winners Iran gave a reason to the 

other Member Associations to work hard in order to achieve what had earlier looked improbable in the shorter 

version of the game. 

I would like to congratulate Japan for regaining the title for the second time after 2006 and my appreciation also 

goes to Thailand, Iran, Australia and Kuwait for qualifying for the FIFA Futsal World Cup to be held in Thailand in 

November. 

I hope these five teams will prepare well and fly the Asian flag high in the world event. 

In our bid to develop and improve the game from the technical perspective, AFC is now regularly undertaken 

technical analysIs of all major tournaments through a panel of technical experts. 

This technical report will be useful in further development of the players, coaches, instructors and educators based 

on solid and accurate data collected during the tournament. 

I would like to thank everyone involved in this competition, including the UAE Football Association, the Local 

Organising Committee, players, coaches, referees, fans and sponsors for their role in making this edition an 

unforgettable one. 

Sincerely, 

Zhang Jilong 

AFC Acting President 

FIFA Executive Committee member

GENERAL: HOST CITY INFORMATION- DUBAI 

Country: UAE 

Population: 8,264,070 (as of 2010) 

Capital: Abu Dhabi 

Dubai is an emirate within the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A city 

within the emirate is also named Dubai. 

Dubai is situated on the Persian Gulf coast of the UAE and is roughly 

at sea level (16 m/52 ft above). The emirate of Dubai shares borders 

with Abu Dhabi in the south, Sharjah in the northeast, and the 

Sultanate of Oman in the southeast. Hatta, a minor exclave of the 

emirate, is surrounded on three sides by Oman and by the emirates 

of Ajman (in the west) and Ras Al Khaimah (in the north). The Persian 

Gulf borders the western coast of the emirate. 

The second most expensive city in the region, Dubai is positioned at 

25°16’’11’’N 55°18’’34’’E / 25.2697°N 55.3095°E / 25.2697; 55.3095 

and covers an area of 1,588 sq mi (4,110 km2), which represents 

a significant expansion beyond its initial 1,500 sq mi (3,900 km2) 

designation due to land reclamation from the sea. 

Dubai has a very hot arid climate. Summers in Dubai are extremely 

hot, windy and humid, with an average high around 42 °C (108 

°F) and overnight lows around 29 °C (84 °F). Most days are sunny 

throughout the year. Winters are warm with an average high of 23 °C 

(73 °F) and overnight lows of 14 °C (57 °F). Precipitation, however, 

has been increasing in the last few decades with accumulated rain 

reaching 250 mm (9.84 in) per year. Dubai summers are also known 

for the high humidity level. 

Dubai’s government operates within the framework of a constitutional 

monarchy, and has been ruled by the Al Maktoum family since 1833. 

The current ruler, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al 

Maktoum, is also the Vice President and Prime Minister of the United 

Arab Emirates and member of the Supreme Council of the Union 

(SCU). Dubai appoints eight members in two-term periods to the 

Federal National Council (FNC) of the UAE, the supreme federal 

legislative body. 

According to the census conducted by the Statistics Centre of 

Dubai, the population of the emirate was 1,771,000 as of 2009, which 

included 1,370,000 males and 401,000 females. The region covers 

497.1 square miles (1,287.4 km²). The population density is 408.18/ 

km² - more than eight times that of the entire country. 

Islam is the official state religion of the UAE. Dubai also has 

large Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Bahá’í, Buddhist and other religious 

communities residing in the city. 

Dubai’s gross domestic product as of 2008 was US $82.11 billion. 

Their economy was built on the back of the oil industry. 

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the only two emirates to have veto power 

over critical matters of national importance in the country’s legislature. 

The earliest mention of Dubai is in 1095, and the earliest settlement 

known as Dubai town dates from 1799. Dubai was formally 

established in 1833 by Sheikh Maktoum bin Buti al Maktoum. 

Dubai’s geographical location made it an important trading hub and 

by the beginning of the 20th century, it was an important port. 

In 1966, oil was discovered, Dubai and the emirate of Qatar set up 

a new monetary unit to replace the Gulf Rupee. The oil economy led 

to a massive influx of foreign workers, quickly expanding the city by 

300% and bringing in international oil interests. The modern emirate 

8

of Dubai was created after the UK left the area in 1971. At this time 

Dubai, together with Abu Dhabi and four other emirates, formed the 

United Arab Emirates. The following year Ras al Khaimah joined the 

federation while Qatar and Bahrain chose to remain independent 

nations. 

In 1973, the monetary union with Qatar was dissolved and the UAE 

Dirham introduced throughout the UAE. A free trade zone was 

built around the Jebel Ali port in 1979, allowing foreign companies 

unrestricted import of labor and export capital. 

Today, Dubai City has emerged as a global city and a business hub. 

Although Dubai’s economy was built on the oil industry, the emirate’s 

model of business drives its economy, with the effect that its main 

revenues are now from tourism, real estate, and financial services, 

similar to that of Western countries. 

Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative 

large construction projects and sports events. 

Football and cricket are the most popular sports in Dubai. Five teams 

(Al Wasl FC, Al-Ahli Dubai, Al Nasr SC, Al Shabab Al Arabi Club and 

Dubai Club) represent Dubai in UAE Pro-League. Al-Wasl have the 

second-most number of championships in the UAE League, after Al 

Ain. 

Dubai also hosts both the annual Dubai Tennis Championships and 

The Legends Rock Dubai tennis tournaments, as well as the Dubai 

Desert Classic golf tournament and the Dubai World 

Championship, all of which attract sports stars from around the world. 

The Dubai World Cup, a thoroughbred horse race, is held annually at 

the Meydan Racecourse. Dubai also hosts the traditional rugby union 

tournament Dubai Sevens, part of the Sevens World Series. In 2009, 

Dubai hosted the 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens. 

Auto racing is also a big sport in Dubai; the Dubai Autodrome is 

home to many auto racing events throughout the year. 

Cricket is followed by Dubai’s lare community of Indians and the 

residents from other cricket playing nations (Sri Lanka, Pakistan, 

Bangladesh, England, Australia and South Africa). In 2005, the 

International Cricket Council (ICC) moved its headquarters from 

London to Dubai.

GENERAL: TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW

T 

he 12th edition of AFC Futsal Championship was held in United 

Arab Emirates from May 25 to June 1, 2012 with the participation of 

16 teams- Iran, Uzbekistan, Japan, UAE, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, 

Turkmenistan, Korea Republic, China, Chinese Taipei, Qatar, Kuwait, 

Lebanon, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia. 

It is also the qualification event for the 7th FIFA Futsal World Cup to 

be held in Thailand from November 1-18, 2012. 

The AFC Futsal Championship was first held in 1999. Iran have been 

dominant, winning 10 out of the 11 editions of the competition played 

so far, and finishing 3rd in 2006- which Japan emerged champions 

and broke their stranglehold for once. 

Iran, Uzbekistan and Japan gained automatic qualification into the 

2012 Finals by virtue of finishing in the top three positions in the 2010 

championship. UAE qualified automatically as hosts. 

Each of the four groups plays a one-round league with the top two 

teams qualify to the knockout stage. 

The qualifiers were held in late 2011 and early 2012 to determine the 

remaining 12 spots to the Finals. 

The qualified teams are Korea Republic, China, Chinese Taipei 

(East), Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon (West), Thailand, Indonesia, Australia 

(ASEAN), Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan (South and 

Central). 

The South and Central zone qualifiers was cancelled following the 

withdrawal of Maldives and the AFC Futsal Committee decided to 

award automatic qualification to the remaining teams; Kyrgyzstan, 

Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. 

The top four teams of the AFC Futsal Championship 2012 will qualify 

for the FIFA Futsal World Cup to be held in Thailand later this year. 

In the event that Thailand finishes among the top four, the fifth ranked 

team will qualify for the World Cup. Thailand will be playing in the 

World Cup as hosts regardless of their position in the AFC Futsal 

Championship 2012. 

Teams who reach the quarter-final stage are entitled to be considered 

for ranking positions five to eight. 

The most successful futsal team in Asia by far, Iran, beat hosts Uzbekistan 

8-3 in the 2010 final in Tashkent. 

Mohammad Taheri was named Most Valuable Player and top goal 

scorer after scoring 13 goals for free-scoring champions Iran, who 

completed a clean sweep of the accolades after also being handed 

the Fair Play Award. 

Hossein Shams’ Iran netted 57 and only conceded 9 goals in six 

games to prove their undoubted superiority in the region.

TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS: TECHNICAL ANALYSIS 

This edition of AFC Futsal Championship was arguably played in the 

highest level since 2002. 

The improvement can be seen by the less margin of goals scored 

between teams and the adoption of a more modern, up-to-the-trend 

playing style. 

There are no more “safety first” philosophy implemented like before, 

even for some futsal newcomers in the region. Teams no longer sit 

back in their own half to defend and waiting to launch counter attack; 

they were more aggressive and trying to attack right from the starting 

whistle. 

Vast improvement 

Most of the players showed good techniques especially in passing, 

controlling and shooting. There were a lot of good movements with 

understanding during attack while some matured teams executed 

high pressured play in the opposite half. 

The competition was more exciting and intense with gaps reduced 

between the so-called “big” and “small” teams. There were no more 

battles of David and Goliath. 

Young blood 

The emerging of young and talented players augurs well for the 

future of Asian Futsal. This is indeed an encouraging sign as many 

countries/teams such as Thailand, Kuwait, Indonesia and Chinese 

Taipei, are putting a lot of effort to develop and promote Futsal. 

Stars to watch include tournament MVP from Japan, Rafael Henmi 

(No. 15, aged 20), Australia’s Gregory Giovenali (No. 4, aged 

25), Thailand’s Suphawut Thueanklang (No. 9, aged 23) ,Kritsada 

Wongkaeo (No. 7, aged 24) and Hossein Tayebi (No. 15, aged 24). 

Exciting match-up 

A simple reason to a blockbusting tournament: better preparation 

from all teams. All 16 teams were in tip-top condition and capable 

to execute high pressure in the opposite half. They were able to 

respond quickly to the ball changing moment. 

Quality goals were scored through good movement in high tempo 

and game speed was quicker, yet in the highest level technically, and 

tactically. 

Foreign favour= new trends 

With seven out of 16 participating teams appointed foreign 

coaches, it was a fresh breath of air in terms of playing trends in the 

tournament. 

Latest tactics and strategies were adopted; as a result breathe-taking 

set plays and variations were seen in Dubai. 

This can only motivate and encourage local coaches to do their 

best to improve themselves, in order to be ready to face the future 

encounters with the Latin America and Spanish Futsal style of play. 

14

COACHES’ INFLUENCE 

Set Plays 

There were well-executed tactics and strategies in set plays. 10 goals 

were scored from Kick-in, 7 from Free kicks and 8 from Corners. 

Unexpected variations were a joy to watch. 

Time Out 

Time out is no longer just meant for urgent briefing, it was adopted 

as a strategy from the coaches- to prepare for a set play, to bail the 

players out from a bombarding situation and to refresh and motivate 

the team. 

Substitution 

In most cases, all coaches used 1 to 1 and 2 to 2 substitutions. In this 

edition of Championship, some coaches went for 4 to 4, to execute 

different tactics and playing system, or save players’ energy to 

maintain their match freshness. 

The Final 

The Final between Thailand and Japan was a high tempo and 

physical encounter. It was obvious that coaches from both sides: 

Dutch master tactician Vic Hermans and Manuel Rodrigo, of Spain, 

were well prepared for each other. 

The more experienced Japan pushed up to the opposition half 

to press the Thais to restrict their movement. To counter Japan’s 

pressure, Thailand adopted a long passing style. 

Japan were confident and played with high morale while the young 

Thais appeared to be nervous particularly in the early stages of the 

game. 

Both teams were good at passing, moving and rotating and the 

Japanese rarely slow down the pace. Tired from the extra-time 

semifinal win against Iran, Thailand struggled to cope with the fastflowing 

opponent. 

Hermans took the risk when they were 3-1 behind. He executed the 

power play in the last 7 minutes but the move backfired badly as the 

team conceded three more goals. 

The final score stood at 6-1, with Japan clinched the trophy for the 

second time since 2006. 

15

TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS: TECHNICAL ANALYSISS 

TALKING POINTS 

Super Suphawut! 

Thailand made history by coming from two goals 

down to beat Iran in extra-time in the semi-final. The 

winning goal came from Suphawut Thueanklang 

who scored in the last 30 seconds following a 

corner. 

Goal machine 

Despite losing the crown, Iran are still the 

formidable force in the tournament- they scored a 

tournament high 45 goals in 6 matches, with only 9 

goals conceded. 

No pressure 

The young Thais played without pressure in the last 

four match-up against Iran. Iran were overconfident 

after two goals up but the energetic and brave 

Thailand had the last laugh by fighting until the end 

despite missing a penalty in the process. 

History maker 

Thanks to Luis Fonseca Cilleros, Kuwait have 

qualified to the FIFA Futsal World Cup for the first 

time in their history. The young Kuwaiti team played 

with desire and passion at all times- same like the 

fiery Spaniard. 

16

Aussie power 

Australian qualified to the FIFA Futsal World Cup 

with a team of amateur, as most of the players were 

footballers. Two of them even went back to Australia 

in the middle of the tournament- to report for work! 

Hail King Henmi 

The 20 year-old Rafael Henmi was crowned the 

MVP- the youngest to achieve this feat in the history 

of the tournament. With a goal-a-game ratio, the 

Brazil-born youngster was instrumental in Japan 

success. 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

Rest day 

The teams hardly have rest as the schedule of the 

tournament was just too intense. A rest day after each 

group match for every team is a solution. It can ensure 

more quality matches and performances from the teams 

in the future. 

Sliding tackles 

There should be a clear guideline to clarify the correct 

and proper use of sliding tackles, to avoid unnecessary 

foul from the players. 

17

TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS: STORY OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP 

Match day 1 

18 

Group B: Japan 3-2 (2-1) Lebanon 

A Rafael Henmi penalty with 8 seconds left to play gave Japan a 

dramatic 3-2 victory over Lebanon. 

Kassem Kawsan looked to have capped an impressive fightback 

as Lebanon came from two goals down before a sixth foul from 

Mohammad Iskandarani gave Henmi the chance to seal the win for 

Japan. 

Japan went into the interval with a 2-1 lead with Watura Kitihara and 

Shota Hoshi scoring for the 2006 winners before Karim Abou Zeid 

pulled one back for Lebanon. 

Japan had the upper-hand for the majority of the second period but 

it was Lebanon looked to have earned a share of the spoils when 

Kawsan scored the equaliser, before Henmi’s heroic act. 

Group D: Uzbekistan 1-1 (1-1) Kuwait 

Kuwait reaffirmed the closing gap amongst Asian nations’ futsal after 

heroically holding 2010 finalists Uzbekistan 1-1 in the opener. 

Kuwait took the lead in the 6th minute through an own goal from 

Konstantin Sviridov after a corner from Abdulrahman Almosabehi 

deflected inside his own net. 

Three minutes later, the Uzbeks brought the match back at level 

through Dilshod Irsaliev. 

Group B: Chinese Taipei 4-6 (3-0) Tajikistan 

Alisher Ulmasov scored twice in the final 30 seconds as Tajikistan 

overturned a three-goal deficit to defeat Chinese Taipei 6-4 in an 

entertaining encounter. 

Chinese Taipei took a third minute lead through skipper Liu Chi-chao. 

The Central Asians went further behind six minutes later with Chen 

Po-hao scored Chinese Taipei’s second. Han Chang made it 3-0 with 

three minutes of the first period remaining. 

Tajikistan reduced the deficit just a minute into the second period with 

goal from Akhtam Nazarov but Chinese Taipei restored their threegoal 

cushion just seconds later with Han scored his second. 

Tajikistan pulled one back in the 25th minute when skipper Sherzod 

Jumaev skilfully curled the ball past Chinese Taipei goalkeeper 

Shih Shin-an, who was beaten again seven minutes later following a 

powerful drive from Orzu Dodkhudoev. 

Nazarov’s deflected shot levelled the match at 4-4. 

Ulmasov’s brace in the closing moments turned the tide in Tajikistan’s 

favour. 

Group D: Indonesia 2-5 (1-1) China 

China went top of Group B after beating Indonesia 5-2 in a keenly 

contested match. 

Captain Hu Jie bagged a brace including the opener while Cong Lin, 

Deng Tao and Zhao Liang scored one apiece for the Chinese, who 

started the match poorly. 

Afif Tamimy, who had scored four goals in the Asean qualifiers, 

headed one back for the Indonesia with both the sides locked in 1-1 

in the first period. 

Denny Handoyo scored Indonesia’s second. 

Group A: UAE 3-1 (1-1) Turkmenistan 

The UAE’s debut in the finals of the AFC Futsal Championship 

ended with a historic victory as the 2012 tournament hosts defeated 

Turkmenistan 3-1 in their Group A opener. 

Yousif Mohamed scored the UAE’s first-ever goal in the finals with

just five minutes played. Mergen Atayev struck the equaliser for 

Turkmenistan 30 seconds before the half-time buzzer. 

The game remained locked at 1-1 until the 35th minute when 

Bader Ibrahim’s angled drive giving the UAE a 2-1 lead which 

they extended in the final seconds through Abdulkarim Jamil after 

Turkmenistan’s power play failed to find the equaliser. 

Group C: Australia 3-1 (1-0) Qatar 

Christopher Anthony Zeballos scored a brace as Australia emerged a 

2-0 winner over Qatar in Group C. 

Zeballos’ acute goal-bound cross was helped out by Qatar’s Rashid 

Yousuf towards his own goal but the credit was given to the New 

South Wales Thunder star, who later blocked the vision of Qatari 

goalie Hamad Muftah and connected a slight touch to score his 

second in the 29th minute. 

Group C: Iran 14-1 (6-0) Korea Republic 

Defending champions Iran thrashed Korea Republic 14-1 in their first 

outing of the 2012 AFC Futsal Championship. 

In one of the mesmerizing displays of the 10-time continental 

champions, two hattricks were scored in the match with other two 

players getting a brace each. 

Ali Asghar Hassan Zadeh scored four goals and Javid Mahdi 

was the hattrick heroes while Mohammed Keshavarz and Javad 

Asgharimoghaddam scored two each. Mohammed Taheri, 

Esmailpour Ahmed and Hossein Tayeb added the other goals. 

Debutant Seo Daeyun scored a consolation goal for Korea Republic. 

A thunderbolt from Yousuf reduced the deficit for Qatar with only two 

minutes remaining but Andres Gomez put the match beyond doubt in 

the 39th minute. 

Group A: Thailand 2-0 (0-0) Kyrgyzstan 

Two second-period goals saw Thailand make a winning start to their 

campaign, with the 2008 runners-up seeing off the stern challenge of 

Kyrgyzstan. 

Thailand dominated the first period but squandered a number of 

chances, with Kritsada Wongkaeo failing to make the most of the 

chances that came his way. 

Kyrgyz keeper Kiril Ermolov was finally beaten with seven minutes 

left on the clock when Apiwat Chaemcharoen got on the end of a 

Suphawut Thueanklang cross before Sarawut Jaipech’s powerful 

angled drive following a slick counterattack sealed the win with a 

minute-and-a-half left to play. 

19


Match day 2 

20 

Group B: Lebanon 3-2 (2-2) Chinese Taipei 

Lebanon rekindled their chances of a fourth consecutive quarter-final 

appearance in the AFC Futsal Championship with a 3-2 win over 

Chinese Taipei. 

Lebanese went on the offensive right from the start and took a twogoal 

lead thanks to skipper Khaled Takaji and Kassem Kawsan, only 

for Chinese Taipei keeper Pan Wen-chieh and captain Liu Chi-cho to 

level the tie and send the two sides into the break on a level footing. 

Takaji made it 3-2 five minutes after the restart with what transpired to 

be the winning goal. 

Group D: Kuwait 9-3 (4-1) Indonesia 

A brilliant four-goal haul from Abdulrahman Altaweel took Kuwait 

inches closer to the quarterfinals as they sent Indonesia back home 

with a thumping 9-3 win. 

Altaweel notched his goals in the 10th, 13th, 24th and 33rd minute 

while Abdulrahman Alwadi also grabbed his hattrick scoring in the 

6th, 26th and 35th minute and there were goal apiece from Hassan 

Fawaz and Shaker Almutairi. 

Indonesia- the first team to eliminate in the competition, scored 

through Danny Handoyo, Bayu Bambang and Karami Balfas. 

Group B: Tajikistan 1-6 (1-4) Japan 

Japan booked their place in the quarter-finals with a game to spare 

following an emphatic 6-1 win over Tajikistan. 

2006 winners Japan took the lead after just seven seconds when 

captain Yusuke Komiyama lashed the ball past Shukhrat Bibudov 

before Japan doubled their advantage three minutes later when the 

Tajik goalkeeper misjudged Tetsuya Murakami’s powerful low shot. 

Tajikistan reduced the deficit barely a minute later when a mistake in 

the Japanese defence allowed Mansur Mamedbaev to slip the ball 

through the legs of keeper Hisamatsu Kawahara. 

Japan restored their two-goal lead in the ninth minute when Kotaro 

Inaba converted Nobuya Osodo’s cross before Murakami scored his 

second. 

Four minutes into the second period it was 5-1 with Inaba getting his 

second of the match before Rafael Henmi swept home number six 

with just over three minutes left on the clock. 

Group D: China 1-2 (1-1) Uzbekistan 

Konstantin Sviridov and Dilshod Irsaliev scored a goal apiece as 

Uzbekistan defeated China 2-1 in one of the highly charged affairs of 

the tournament. 

Uzbekistan came from behind after China took an early lead through 

captain Hu Jie, who was sent off shortly after the interval. Sviridov 

brought the match at 1-1 level in the 19th minute and Irsaliev, the 

scorer against Kuwait on Saturday, scored the winner in the 36th 

minute. 

Uzbekistan survived a late scare when China were awarded penalty 

with less than two minutes to go but Zhao Liang’s shot was wellsaved 

by Uzbek goalie Rustam Umarov. 

Group A: Turkmenistan 1-5 (1-3) Thailand 

Thailand confirmed their place in the quarter-finals as the ASEAN 

champions defeated Turkmenistan 5-1 in the second of their three 

Group A fixtures. 

Thailand, runners-up at the 2008 AFC Futsal Championship, took 

a third minute lead when Suphawut Thueanklang’s shot from an 

acute angle went over the line but their advantage lasted a matter of 

seconds with a fine strike from Vatan Atayev levelling for the Turkmen. 

Thailand regained the initiative in the sixth minute when the unmarked

Apiwat Chaemcharoen scored his second of the campaign. 

Some superb trickery on the wing saw Jirawat Sornwichian set up 

Suphawut’s second of the match in the ninth minute which gave 

Thailand a 3-1 half-time lead. 

With four minutes remaining, Konghla Lakka charged forward from 

his own half to score a fine solo effort before Kritsada Wongkaeo 

added a fifth in the 39th minute. 

Group C: Korea Republic 0-6 (0-2) Australia 

Australia beat Korea Republic 6-0 in a one-sided encounter to storm 

to the quarterfinals with one match to spare. 

Fernando Lima De Moraes scored a brace for the Futsalroos while 

Peter Spathis, Gregory Giovenali, Tobias Guang Hua Seeto and 

Daniel Fogarty scored a goal apiece. 

The Australians were clinical in counter attack as the Koreans, 

desperate to overcome the thrashing by Iran and needing a win 

to stay in the competition, came all out before Fernando Lima De 

Moraes’ opener. 

And things got worse for the UAE three minutes later with Emil 

Kanetov’s close range effort. 

With three minutes left on the clock Tariq Abdulla pulled one back for 

the UAE but it was just too little, too late. 

Group C: Qatar 0-8 (0-4) Iran 

Iran continued their exceptional start of the campaign with a 

convincing 8-0 victory over Qatar to book a place in the quarterfinals 

with a match to spare. 

The 10-time continental champions have already wrecked up 22 

goals conceding two in the tournament. 

Iran captain Vahid Shamsaee returned to his goalscoring best by 

bagging a brace in the 23rd and 31st minute. 

Playing his first official international tournament, the 17-year-old 

Hossein Tayebi also scored two goals while there were goal apiece 

for Mohammad Keshavarz, Hassan Ali Asghar, Mohammed Taheri 

and Ahmadi Hamid. 

Korea Republic have sipped up 20 goals in first two matches. 

Group A: Kyrgyzstan 3-1 (0-0) UAE 

Kyrgyzstan brought themselves back into contention for a place in 

the quarter-finals after scoring three second-half goals to defeat 2012 

AFC Futsal Championship hosts the UAE 3-1. 

After a scrappy first-half Kyrgyzstan broke the deadlock two minutes 

after the interval with Rustam Ermekov’s low drive. 

The UAE went 2-0 down in the 32nd minute when Marat Duvanev’s 

free-kick took a wicked deflection off Abdelaziz Abdulla sending the 

ball past goalkeeper Jabir Mohamed.

Match day 3 

22 

Group B: Japan 6-1 (1-1) Chinese Taipei 

Japan concluded their group stage campaign with a 100% record 

following a 6-1 victory over Chinese Taipei. 

Chinese Taipei drew the first blood in the sixth-minute through Lo 

Chih-an. Japan equalised five minutes later with Rafael Henmi fired 

home his third of the campaign. 

Henmi got his second of the match soon after Japan kicked-off the 

second period. Yusuke Komiyama made it 3-1 in the 28th minute 

before skipper Kenichiro Kogure drove the ball home from an acute 

angle three minutes later. 

In the 33rd minute Nobuya Osodo netted Japan’s fifth before his 

cutback allowed Tetsuya Murakami to complete the comprehensive 

win with five minutes remaining. 

Group B: Tajikistan 1-2 (1-1) Lebanon 

Lebanon are one match away from playing the FIFA Futsal World 

Cup after booking a place in the quarterfinals with a 2-1 win over 

Tajikistan. 

Hassan Zeitoun was just two seconds off the tournament’s fastest 

goalscoring record as he gave an ideal start to the Lebanon team 

scoring from the angle inside first eight seconds. 

Tajikistan equalised in the 9th minute with Mansur Mamedbabaev 

finished off a good move by Orzu Dodkhudoev, who saw red late in 

the match. 

But Hayssam Atwi has different idea as he scored the winner for 

Lebanon on the half an hour mark. 

Group D: Uzbekistan 9-1 (4-1) Indonesia 

Uzbekistan eased into the quarter-finals with an emphatic 9-1 triumph 

over Indonesia in their final Group D fixture but it was not enough for 

the Central Asians top the table following Kuwait’s 5-0 win over China. 

Uzbekistan went one-up inside four minutes when Dilshod Israliev 

scored. 

Goalkeeper Ade Lesmana was beaten for the second time when 

Nodir Elibaev fired home four minutes later but Indonesia reduced the 

deficit in the 13th minute with Gustian Wardhana’s strike. 

However, the Uzbeks restored their two-goal cushion less than 

a minute later when Israliev’s scored his second before Hurshid 

Tajibaev made it 4-1 with three minutes left on the clock in the first 

period. 

One minute after the restart Farkhod Abdumavlyanov made it 5-1 

with a fine solo effort and four minutes later it was six, with Oleg 

Khalmukmamedov firing the ball into the roof of the net. 

Tajibaev went from provider to scorer in the 31st minute with 

his second of the game and with three minutes left to play 

Abdumavlyanov netted his brace before Dilshod Rakhmatov sealed 

the one-sided contest. 

Group D: China 0-5 (0-2) Kuwait 

Kuwait romped into the quarterfinals as the Group D winner after 

thumping China 5-0 in the last group match. 

Kuwait emerged as the group leaders by virtue of goal difference with 

Uzbekistan ending the group campaign with equal seven points but 

less superior goal difference. 

Ahmad Alfarsi scored a hattrick coupled with a goal each from 

Shaker Almutairi and Abdulrahman Almosabehi to seal the emphatic 

win over China who came in the tournament as one of the favourites 

to at least reach in the knockout stages.

Group C: Iran 9-0 (4-0) Australia 

Iran outlined their status as the overwhelming tournament favourites 

with an emphatic 9-0 win over Australia that set up a quarter-final 

showdown with Uzbekistan in what will be a meeting between the 

2010 tournament’s champions and runners-up. 

Iran broke the deadlock in the 11th minute when Mohammad Taheri 

drilled the ball past Angelo Konstantinou. 

After veteran Vahid Shamsaee made it 2-0, Ali Hassanzadeh knocked 

in Iran’s third. 

With four minutes left on the clock in the first period, Ghodrat 

Bahadori made it 4-0 with a superb individual effort. 

Iran continued from where they left off with Taheri scored his second 

and Iran’s fifth before Hossein Tayebi became the fifth Iranian to get 

his name on the scoresheet in the 31st minute. 

Two minutes later it was 7-0 with Hassanzadeh bagging his brace 

and with less than three minutes left Javad Asgharimoghaddami got 

in on the scoring act. 

Shamsaee had the final say by scoring Iran’s ninth and final goal. 

Group C: Qatar 6-3 (1-1) Korea Republic 

Qatar recorded their maiden win in the AFC Futsal Championship 

as the debutants recorded a 6-3 win over Korea Republic in an 

academic match. 

Amro Mohssein Abdelaal, who missed out first two matches due 

to suspension showed what he is worth off as he created a goal in 

the 7th minute for Shalem Khalifa and later wrote his name in the 

scoresheet in the 21st minute. 

Korea hit back with a lucky deflection goal which was given as an 

own goal off Muneer Mohammad, but Qatar players ensured that they 

go home with at least something to cheer about. 

Muneer, Saad Bilal, Rashid Yousuf and Ali Al Sabah also scored a 

goal apiece before Korea pegged back two through Kim Minkuk and 

power-player Kim Jeongnam. 

Group A: UAE 2-4 (1-3) Thailand 

The UAE’s hope of reaching the knockout phase of the AFC Futsal 

Championship at the first time of asking ended when the 2012 hosts 

went down 4-2 to Thailand. 

The UAE got off to the perfect start as Abdulkarim Jamil opened the 

scoring with just under a minute played. 

But the UAE’s advantage last just three minutes with Sarawut Jaipech 

confidently shot Thailand back on to level terms. 

The Thais took a tenth minute lead when Jirawat Sornwichian 

fired home before Thailand went 3-1 with three minutes of the half 

remaining courtesy of Kritsada Wongkaeo’s strike. 

And things got worse for the UAE when Suphawat Thueanklang hit 

the target from just inside the left sideline for Thailand’s fourth goal in 

the 32nd minute before Abdulkarim Jamil scored his second of the 

night in the dying seconds, which proved to a mere consolation. 

Group A: Kyrgyzstan 2-1 (2-0) Turkmenistan 

Kyrgyzstan made it into the quarterfinals after beating Turkmenistan 

2-0 in the last mach of Group A. 

Kyrgyzstan took a comfortable 2-0 lead after Nurjan Djetybaev and 

Vadim Kondratkov scored respectively in the 15th and 17th minute. 

Turkmenistan’s Serdar Rejepov was red carded in the 28th minute but 

still managed to craw one back through Nazim Rahimov in the 37th 

minute.

Quarter-finals 

QF1: Thailand 5-3 (3-2) Lebanon 

Thailand maintained their 100% record after coming from 2-0 down to 

defeat Lebanon 5-3 and set up a semi-final showdown with Iran. 

With a place in the 2012 FIFA World Cup at stake Lebanon raced 

to a two-goal lead thanks to a Kassem Kawsan double but goals 

from Jetsada Chudech, Suphawut Thueanklang and Apiwat 

Chaemcharoen saw the Thais go into the break with a 3-2 lead. 

Nattavut Madyalan gave the Thais a two-goal cushion ten minutes 

into the second period and after Jirawat Sornwichan extended the 

Thais advantage with the fifth goal in the 36th minute, Ali El Homsi 

netted a late consolation for Lebanon. 

QF2: Iran 6-3 (3-0) Uzbekistan 

Iran stormed into the semifinals of the AFC Futsal Championship 

2012 after beating last edition’s finalist Uzbekistan 6-3 in the 

quarterfinal. 

Iran’s entry to the semifinal also ensured their place in the FIFA 

Futsal World Cup to be played in Thailand later this year. In contrast, 

Uzbekistan are out of the race with Thailand beating Lebanon by 5-3 

- lesser goal difference than Uzbekistan. 

Hamid Ahmadi scored a brace including a fifth minute goal against 

the run of play to put early pressure on Uzbekistan. Ahmad Esmailpur 

scored Iran’s second in the 7th minute. 

Uzbekistan came out strongly in the second half as it took just a 

minute for them to reduce the deficit by 3-1 courtesy of Shuhrat 

Tojiboev’s strike. 

Iran scored their fourth just a minute later through Mohammed Taheri. 

Uzbeks came adventurous and add one more goal in the 28th minute 

with Tojiboev netted his second of the match. 

Iran came back firing as Hossain Tayebi scored in the 32nd 

minute while Hamid added one more before Dilshod Rakhmatov’s 

consolation in the 40th minute for the Uzbek. 

QF3: Japan 1-0 (1-0) Kyrgyzstan 

Japan scraped into the final-four with a 1-0 victory. 

The opening exchanges were an evenly-fought affair until Japan 

broke the deadlock in the 12th minute when Rafael Henmi maintained 

his record of scoring in every game at the 2012 AFC Futsal 

Championship with a powerful long-range drive that the usually

dependable Kiril Ermolov deflected into his own net. 

As it transpired it was the lapse in concentration from Ermolov, who 

had been singled out by Rodrigo as one of the best keeper at the 

tournament, the decided an extremely tense and cagey match that 

the Japanese dominated in terms of possession and chances. 

one minutes after Shaker’s goal through a brilliant run from Ngaluafe 

Danny. 

Despite trailing by a goal down, Kuwait hit back in the second half 

with a 28th minute strike from Hamad Alawadhi. 

QF4: Kuwait 2-3 a.e.t. (2-2, 1-2) Australia 

Australia set a date against Japan in the semifinal following their epic 

3-2 extra-time win over Kuwait. 

With the win, Australia grabbed a berth in the upcoming FIFA Futsal 

World Cup Championship alongside with Kuwait, who finished as topfifth 

ranked country in the Championship. 

Given the stakes from the match, the evenly-matched contest was 

a nail-biting affair with Kuwait coming from back on two occasions 

before Australia sealed the victory with Daniel Fogarty’s second of the 

match two minutes into the extra-time. 

Earlier, Fogarty gave a great opening to Australia putting them 1-0 

ahead as early as in the 3rd minute of the match. Kuwait’s in-form 

striker Shaker Almutairi brought the match at level in the 15th minute 

after good works from the flank by captain Salem Aman. 

The see-saw battle continued as Australia restored the parity just

Match day 5 

Semi-finals 

SF1: Thailand 5-4 a.e.t. (3-3, 1-2) Iran 

Suphawut Thueanklang scored in the last 30 seconds of extra-time 

as Thailand overcame the loss of two early goals to defeat ten-time 

champions Iran 5-4 and book their place in the final. 

Asian futsal icon Vahid Shamsaee opened the scoring in the fourth 

minute before Hossein Tayebi doubled the advantage three minutes 

later as the threat of a one-sided semi-final loomed. 

However, Thailand, runners-up on home soil in 2008 when they 

lost 4-0 to Iran, hit back almost immediately through Suphawut 

Thueanklang as the first-half ended 2-1. 

Javad Ashgharimoghaddam made it 3-1 with 11 minutes remaining 

before a Suphawut penalty and a Jirawat Sornwichian effort soon 

after sent the thrilling semi-final into extra-time. 

SF2: Japan 3-0 (0-0) Australia 

Japan reached the final of the AFC Futsal Championship for the 

seventh time with a hard-fought 3-0 victory over Australia in the lastfour 

encounter. 

The amateur Aussies gave a sterling account of themselves but in the 

end Japan’s experience told as the 2006 champions ran out winners 

courtesy of second-half goals from skipper Kenichiro Kogure, Wataru 

Kitihara and Rafael Henmi. 

Japan’s victory set up a final showdown with Thailand, who overcame 

an early 2-0 deficit to defeat defending champions Iran 5-4 after 

extra-time to ensure there will be a name other the Iran on the AFC 

Futsal Championship for only the second time in the tournament’s 

history. 

Apiwat Chaemcharoen gave the Thais a 4-3 lead in extra-time but 

in an dramatic end to the absorbing contest Shamsaee equalised 

before Suphawut sealed the win after missing a penalty seconds 

earlier.

Match day 6 

Third-place match 

Iran 4-0 (0-0) Australia 

Iran ensured direct entry to the next edition of the tournament 

following a hard-fought 4-0 win over Australia in the third-place 

playoff. 

Australia defended resolutely, with goalkeeper Peter Spathis a 

particular source of frustration for the Iranians, until the infinitely more 

experienced Iranians took advantage of the flagging Futsalroos with 

four unanswered goals in the last eight minutes. 

With four minutes 31 seconds left the flagging Futsalroos were beaten 

when Javad Asgharimoghaddam intercepted an attempted clearance 

from Gregory Giovenali to round Spathis and roll the ball into the 

empty net. 

A minute later Spathis was beaten for a second time swift break from 

the Iran half culminated with Mohammad Taheri confidently sweeping 

the ball home after being teed up by Mohammad Keshavaraz. 

Australia attempted to get back into the game with the power play 

but the move backfired on the Futsalroos with Asgharimoghaddam 

scoring into the unguarded net from deep inside his own half before 

Asian futsal icon Vahid Shamsaee put the gloss on the win with 

number in the dying seconds. 

Final 

Thailand 1-6 (1-2) Japan 

Japan were crowned AFC Futsal Championship UAE 2012 

champions with an emphatic 6-1as the East Asians took the coveted 

title for a second time.

after Kritsada Wongkaeo drew Thailand level in the 11th minute 

Wataru Kitahara restored Japan’s advantage with five minutes of the 

first period remaining as the East Asians went into the break 2-1 up. 

An error from Thai keeper Surapong Tompa led to the indirect freekick 

from which Kotaro Inaba extended Japan’s lead midway through 

the second period before Rafael Henmi, keeper Hisamitsu Kawahara 

and Nobuya Osodo added further goals as Thailand’s power play 

backfired badly.

2012: Head coach- UAE national team 

We played some very good futsal but what people 

must understand is that it is very difficult to win 

matches in the Asian Finals. 

We have just 11 players and three goalkeepers 

and of those players five have never played in an 

international competition before.

I am a calm person that analyses the matches calmly. 

I was joking with the staff and players to keep the 

situation relaxed and this helped the players perform. 

This is the psychological aspect of the game.

Lebanon 

Futsal in Lebanon is much smaller and needs a lot of 

development to progress but this is a long project and 

will take time. 

You could see that the bigger teams at this tournament 

have the advantage of playing futsal for many more 

years than we have and we have to start getting futsal 

into the clubs and schools so that we can learn the 

basics.

It’s not the first time we have lost and it will not be 

the last. Look at Brazil who recently lost at home to 

Paraguay. Even the strongest teams lose. 

This has been a warning for us and now we must ask 

ourselves the necessary questions before the World 

Cup.

2008-2009: Assistant coach- Australia national 

team 

Our journey in this championship is quite encouraging 

given the resources and support we have had. We 

have part time players and were trained around 40 

hours before the tournament. Even there were some 

players who failed to make it to the training due to their 

work commitment. 

With this resources, going to the World Cup and 

fluttering Australian flag is not a minor thing.

When you are 3-0 down against a team as big as Iran, 

it’s next to impossible to come back into the match. 

It’s been 17 matches we have lost against Iran in 18 

games but the gap is closing. There are countries 

in Asia who are very aggressively working on to 

develop the game and I am sure in 2014 Iran will get 

challenges from more countries than now.

2012: Head coach- Indonesia national team 

This was a very different set of players from those that 

took part in the qualifiers and this was a very difficult 

group but I think the players will have learned a lot 

from the experience. With each game here I could see 

the team improving. 

80% of the players are under the age of 23 so we 

were not just looking at this tournament and we were 

thinking about the long term.

TOURNAMENT ANALYSIS: MEDICAL REPORT 

The emergency medical services at venues of 

competition as well as specialized hospital care have 

been satisfactory set-up. Priority of service coupled 

with warm and friendly attitude of the medical staff 

accorded towards players and officials is exemplary. 

The LOC medical officers provided medical care for the 

AFC and LOC delegation. AFC Medical Officer handled 

the consultation of AFC delegates with few complaints 

were recorded most of them are minor complaints. Outpatient 

treatments were needed in three cases. 

In-competition dope tests were conducted during 

the tournament involving forty- four (44) players. One 

player per team in each of the fourteen (14) matches 

was randomly drawn for doping controls. All results 

received with AFC strategies in fight against doping in 

football in Asia. 

Calculation Of Injury Rates And Statistical Analysis 

Numerous publications for football injuries while little information is available about the injury risk in futsal. 

Though, it It has been proven that futsal game is safer than the out-door football. However, injuries occurred in 

futsal games are due to past movement and sudden maneuver. 

Player’s injuries in all the 32 matches have been recorded. The respective team doctors/team physiotherapist 

cooperation has been asked to record injuries during each match as well as during training sessions. The average 

response rate is Ninety Eight (98%). 

A total of 26 injuries were reported from 32 matches, which is equivalent to an injury ratio of 1.8. The majority of 

injuries were caused by contact with another player (88%), and 12% of the injuries occurred during non-contact 

activities. Most injuries affected the lower extremity (84%) with ankle as the highest followed by the lumbar spine 

(7.7%) and upper extremity (7.6%). The most frequent diagnoses were contusion (38.5%), ankle sprain (34.6%) 

and muscle strains (15.4%). On average, severity is 1.35 (total of 35 days absence of players in training and 

matches due to injuries). 

88

Continuous education - corner stone of development 

The team doctors and/or team physiotherapist and LOC medical key personnel underwent a one-day workshop 

prior to the tournament. The objective is to discuss the medical services and doping control related matters. The 

continued implementation of meeting and workshop activities prior to the tournament is an effective as way of 

updating the team physiotherapist and team doctors on the current trends in football medicine such as proper 

medical care and the anti-doping programme. The appointed AFC Medical and Doping Control Officer Dr. Sarban 

Singh and Dr.Nguyen Van Phu delivered the topics.

FITNESS TEST 

The fitness test for the Futsal Referees was conducted on 23rd May 2012 at The Abdulhakeem Stadium at 1930 

hrs. Participants (15 main referees and 2 stand-by referees) passed the fitness test requirement. Unfortunately 

appointed referee Mr. Vadim Baratov (TKM) was injured during the last speed test. 

The fitness test was conducted by four (4) Futsal Referee Instructors and assisted by local fitness instructor Mr. 

Hassan Abdulla Alhammadi. The medical team and ambulance were present to assist us. 

PRACTICAL TRAINING SESSION 

The practical training session during the preparatory course was conducted on 24th May 2012 1400 hrs at Al 

Shabab Stadium. It was a new approach to the training session as the referees were given the opportunity to 

use the Communication System. They are able to practice and rehearse their movements and signals using 

the communication sets and thus able to have better teamwork and understanding. The training session was a 

success as it enables the referees to perform better in actual matches. 

DEBRIEFINGS 

The daily debriefings were also conducted by the 

Referee Instructors on the next day of every match 

except during the Final Match Day where the debriefing 

took place right after the match. 

During the daily debriefings, a general and yet 

extensive overviews of the match were given by 

Referee Instructors, where many match incidents 

edited after each match were shown, discussed and 

analyzed. In these sessions, Referees also talked 

about their matches and their performances and the 

instructors will brief them on their strengths and areas 

where the referees can improve. 

Referees were also able to learn from their mistakes 

and mistakes of their colleagues and their strengths 

were emphasized. Each session lasted for an hour’s 

and ended with advises to the referees for further 

improvement. 

91


REFEREES PERFORMANCE 

The overall performances of the Referees were very good, due to the daily debriefings and they did improve after 

every match. Most of their decisions were well received and accepted by the players/teams and there were no 

major mistakes committed by the referees. 

However, the instructors identified some areas for development such as player management, technical area 

management and foul recognition. 

On the physical fitness readiness, they have also performed well and have no problem. The referees were able to 

accelerate and change the pace/direction at an appropriate time during play and at match incidents. 

92 

REFEREEING APPOINTMENT 

Basically, the referees were each given an opportunity 

to officiate a few matches before the instructors 

decide on the other appointments. Referees were later 

appointed based on their current performance. 

During the quarter finals, seven (7) referees were 

released and nine (9) referees stay for the semi finals, 

3/4 place and final matches. 

All appointments were discussed thoroughly by the 

instructors and forwarded to AFC Referees Department 

office for review before finalizing the appointment and 

distributed to the referees and the Competition staff.

STRENGTH 

Their support to each other was commendable. Each referee knows their responsibility well and organization of 

administration, arrival, training, debriefing etc. was well coordinated. On the pitch, their interpretation on the Laws 

of the Game was good but the follow up sanctions after each foul need further improvement. 

AREAS FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT 

There were a small numbers of referees that need more match exposures for them to be able to learn more. With 

more exposures and experiences, they have the potential to excel further. 

However, some referees need to improve their English language to enhance their level of understanding and also 

to have better communication with each other. 

CONCLUSION 

Because of the Preparatory Course and the daily 

debriefings, the referees’ understanding and the 

decisions on matters on the Laws of the Game were 

good. As they were committed and have made 

preparations in their countries, their physical fitness 

level had also met with our expectations. 

The exchange program with UEFA, as feedback from 

AFC Instructors and Referees, were very good. AFC 

match officials and also UEFA have received different 

perspectives of instructions and it also provided 

them with valuable exchanges of knowledge and 

experiences between the instructors and referees from 

both sides. 

All the Referee Instructors were well-experienced 

personalities and the referees for this tournament 

had received the best lecturing sessions during this 

tournament. 

Due to this, the refereeing performance was on a 

high level and their knowledge and the performance 

improve on each match they officiated. 

Overall, the referees have developed and enhanced 

themselves into higher level through this tournament.
