A key focus of the programme was ensuring a smooth and structured transition from the Level 1 Coaching Course syllabus to Level 2, enabling coaches to progressively hone their skills and knowledge along a clearly defined development pathway.

With this transition at its core, experts also exchanged ideas on refining the Level 2 syllabus, which places greater emphasis on empowering players to independently solve game-related challenges in high-pressure situations.

The five-day programme also provided technical working group members with a platform for constructive dialogues on integrating new topics and fine-tuning existing content across all levels, where discussions spanned key areas such as player development, the logic of the game, coaching and training methodologies, as well as techniques and tactics specifically catering to goalkeeping in futsal.

“The aim of this workshop is to steadily shape the future of the game and contribute meaningfully to the AFC’s vision of ensuring the success of Asian teams on the world stage,” said AFC Futsal Goalkeeping Instructor Mishaeil Petros, from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Echoing his sentiments, AFC Futsal Instructor Chiew Chun Yong from Malaysia said: “As technical experts, we are committed to realising the Confederation’s ambitions by enhancing coaching standards, fostering knowledge exchange, and driving the sustainable growth of futsal across Asia.”

Taking place after the AFC Futsal Tutors Seminar 2025, which concluded in October, the AFC Futsal Technical Workshop 2 once again reiterated the Confederation’s unwavering resolve to maximise the potential of its MAs through tailormade support.
