The 2018 AFC Women's Futsal Championship was the second edition of the AFC Women's Futsal Championship, the biennial international futsal championship organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for the women's national teams of Asia. It took place in Thailand, which was appointed as hosts by the AFC on 29 July 2017,[1] between 2 and 12 May 2018.[2] The tournament was originally to be held between 15–26 August 2017, two years after the inaugural edition in 2015, but was postponed to the following year.

A total of 15 teams participated in the tournament. The 15 teams were divided into four groups (one with three teams and three with four teams), with the group winners and the best runner-up advancing to the quarter-finals.[3]

The tournament served as qualifying for the futsal tournament at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, with the winner and the runner-up qualifying for the girls' tournament, to be represented by their under-18 representative teams.[4][5]

Iran, the defending champions, won their second title in a row.

Qualified teams[]

Qualified teams for Youth Olympics[]

The following two teams from AFC qualified for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics girls' futsal tournament. Since Iran also qualified for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics boys' futsal tournament and chose the boys' tournament over the girls' tournament, they were replaced by Thailand.[9]

Team Qualified on Previous appearances in Youth Olympics
  10 May 2018 0 (debut)
  19 August 2018 (confirmed) 0 (debut)
Notes
  • Since teams from the same association cannot play in both the Youth Olympics boys' and girls' tournaments, if teams from the same association qualify for both tournaments, they must nominate their preferred qualification team, and the next best ranked team will qualify instead if one of the qualified teams are not nominated.
  • As participation in team sports (Futsal, Beach handball, Field hockey, and Rugby sevens) are limited to one team per gender for each National Olympic Committee (NOC), the participating teams of the 2018 Youth Olympics futsal tournament will be confirmed by mid-2018 after each qualified NOC confirms their participation and any unused qualification places are reallocated.[5]

Awards[]

The following awards were given at the conclusion of the tournament:
