The draw for the AFC Futsal Asian Cup 2022 hosted by Kuwait in October was held yesterday and the 16 teams in the competition identified their opponents as follows:

Group A Kuwait, Iraq, Thailand, and Oman

Group B Uzbekistan, Bahrain, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan

Group C Iran, Lebanon, Chinese Taipei, and Indonesia

Group D Japan, Vietnam, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia,

After the draw, the Asian Football Confederation AFC threatened any team that withdraws from the competition 30 days before the Asian Cup will be fined the amount of 25 thousand dollars and banned from the next edition of the championship. Withdrawal from the Nations Cup less than 30 days before the start of the Games will result in a $ 30,000 to $ 40,000 fine for the teams. But the heaviest fines include teams that withdraw at the start of the competition. The AFC has imposed a $ 75,000 fine in this case, according to the Saudi newspaper Al-Eqtisadiya.

Compensation for financial losses and other disciplinary offenses may also be waiting for the wrong teams.

Iran is the defending champion and favorite to lift the title again.
