MONITORING (SW) – Afghanistan has failed to qualify for the 2019 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.<\/p>\n
Under an Iranian trainer, Maisam Ashtyani, Afghanistan’s national beach soccer team failed to capitalize on its maiden victory over Malaysia in the qualifying rounds.<\/p>\n
In October 2018, it was announced the tournament will take place in Paraguay at the city of Asuncion, between 21 November and 1 December 2019. This marks the first time that Paraguay will host a FIFA event and that a landlocked country will receive the World Cup.<\/p>\n
In qualifying rounds, Afghanistan lost to Thailand 2-0 in its Group A. According to Afghanistan Football Federation, the national team prepared for these qualifying rounds in the cold Kabul weather. Earlier, Afghanistan beat Malaysia 2-3. Afghanistan had also lost to Palestine 3-2.<\/p>\n
From this group, Malaysia and Palestine have made it to the quarter finals of the qualifying rounds. Finalists of the group would be announced on March 17.<\/p>\n
The 2019 AFC Beach Soccer Championship contested by Asian men's national teams, organised by the Asian Football Confederation took place in Pattaya, Thailand between 7–17 March 2019.<\/p>\n
Afghanistan secured on 6th slot among 13 teams competing at this event two years ago.<\/p>\n
