HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam are in Group B of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Futsal Championship 2018, according to the event’s draw.

The Philippines withdrew from the event after the draw had finished. Accordingly, they are in Group A. They were fined US$10.000.
The tournament is scheduled to be held in Indonesia on December 3-11 but will clash with the AFF Cup, so hosts Indonesia have proposed to the AFF to change the time of the AFF futsal event. The AFF futsal tournament’s official time will be announced soon.
