Preview of Vietnam Futsal vs Kuwait: Victory in the opening match

The Vietnam futsal team enters their opening game in Group B, 2026 AFC Futsal Championship finals facing the Kuwait national team.

Coach Diego Giustozzi’s squad enters the tournament as the top team in Group E with three straight wins against Lebanon, Hong Kong (China), and China. Before the match, the Argentine coach stated:

"I can't think about the second or third matches right now; I must focus on the first game. Because if you don't play with 100% effort and full concentration, you can lose to any team.”

On the other side, Kuwait is no stranger to the Vietnam futsal team. The West Asian team qualified for the finals as one of the seven best second-placed teams. Facing Vietnam, Kuwait’s head coach affirmed: "We will try to control the situation against Vietnam and in all the upcoming matches.”

Vietnam’s futsal team is considered slightly stronger in this encounter. Previously, in two friendly matches in September 2025, Coach Diego Giustozzi’s team secured victories with scores of 3-2 and 3-1 respectively over Kuwait. However, until the final whistle, anything can happen, requiring the red-shirted team to remain fully focused.
