The 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup was the seventh FIFA Futsal World Cup, the quadrennial international futsal championship contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It took place from 1 to 18 November 2012 in Thailand.[1] An extra four teams (increase to 24 from 20 at the 2008 event in Brazil) were competing at this World Cup.[2] This was the first FIFA men's tournament held in Southeast Asia since the Malaysia 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship, and was the first FIFA men's tournament held in the country, having hosted the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship.

Defending champions Brazil won the title for the fifth time, defeating Spain in a rematch of the 2008 final.[3][4]

Bid process

[edit]

On 20 July 2009, FIFA launched the bidding for the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup with the following timeline:[5]

  • Declaration of interest: 1 September 2009, deadline for the member associations to declare their interest in hosting the tournament.
  • FIFA Hosting Agreements: 30 September 2009, deadline for FIFA to send out the Hosting Agreements to those associations who have declared an interest to host the tournament.
  • Bidding Agreement: 15 November 2009, deadline for the member associations to reconfirm their interest in bidding the tournament.
  • Hosting Agreement: 15 January 2010, deadline for the member associations to submit the signed Hosting Agreements.
  • Appointment of hosts by the FIFA Executive Committee: March 2010.

On 19 March 2010, during its Executive Committee meeting, FIFA chose Thailand to host the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup.[6] Thailand beat bids from China, Iran, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Sri Lanka and Guatemala.[7]

Venues

[edit]

The matches were originally due to take place across four venues.[8] Due to construction delays and failure to meet the security requirement, early matches scheduled at the Bangkok Futsal Arena were moved to the Indoor Stadium Huamark.[9] After the final inspection on 5 November, FIFA announced that the Bangkok Futsal Arena had not sufficiently met the criteria. The two quarter-final matches would be played at Nimibutr Stadium, while Indoor Stadium Huamark would host the semifinals and the final.[10]

Draw

[edit]

The official draw for the World Cup was held at the St. Regis Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand on 24 August 2012.[14]

The 24 teams were divided in six groups, each group with four teams.[15]

Group stage

[edit]

The group winners and runners up along with the 4 highest rank third places advanced to the round of 16.[16]

The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows:

  1. greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
  2. goal difference in all group matches;
  3. greatest number of goals scored in all group matches;

If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows:

  1. greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  2. goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
  3. greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
  4. drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

All times are Thailand Standard Time (UTC+07:00).
