Beetles to cross swords with South Korea’s Daegu

Thai national players received their first dose of Covid-19 vaccine yesterday ahead of their play-off for the Fifa Futsal World Cup later this year.

They got the vaccine at Bamrasnaradura Infectious Diseases Institute and would need the second shot in two or three weeks.

Following this week’s draw, Thailand will face Iraq and Vietnam will meet Lebanon in Asia’s two-leg play-offs.

The first leg will take place on May 20 and the second leg on May 25.

Thailand will play the away leg first but the venues for both games are not yet determined.

The winners of the two ties will represent Asia at the World Cup, along with Iran, Japan and Uzbekistan.

The 2021 Fifa Futsal World Cup will be held in Luthuania in September.
