First Official Test for the New Coaching Staff
The match will kick off at 6 PM Kabul time, serving as the inaugural international appearance for Coach Djurić and his new staff. The team’s performance in this tournament will be crucial for evaluating the new coaching strategies and their effectiveness.
Absence of Afghanistan’s First-choice Goalkeeper
Unfortunately, Afghanistan will not have its first-choice goalkeeper, Mohammad Jawad Safri, available for the tournament. Consequently, Ali Ahmad Mohseni and Ahmad Esmaeili will take on the responsibility of protecting the goal during the Continental Cup.
Continuing the Success of Afghan Futsal
In recent years, under the leadership of Iranian coach Majid Moradi, the Afghanistan national futsal team achieved significant results on the international stage, including its historic advancement to the Round of 16 in the Futsal World Cup.
