We will face the number 1 ranked team in the world, Brazil. which is considered a favorite to win this world championship as well And we were already in a group with Brazil in the 2004 World Cup,” Adisak said.
“As for Croatia, although they qualified for the World Futsal round by being the last team from Europe in the play-offs, But they are the strongest team in Pot 3. Looking at the first game they will meet Croatia in this Futsal World Cup. It will be a very important game. It might be possible to push into second place in this group.”
“Cuba is another regular team that has made it to the World Futsal Cup for the 6th time. They cannot be careless because they last met in the 2016 Futsal World Cup in Colombia. They caused us quite a bit of trouble before winning. Got 8-5. The 3 countries we will have to face are South America, Europe and America in the CONCACAF zone. After this, it will be planned to find teams on these three continents with similar styles to warm up and prepare as much as possible.”
