Indonesian national futsal team coach Hector Souto emphasized that his team will face Iran in the 2026 Asian Futsal Cup final, which will be held on Saturday (February 7) at 7:00 p.m. WIB, without fear.
Indonesia is making its first appearance in the Asian Futsal Cup final, while their opponents Iran will be playing in their 16th final in history, with all 13 previous finals ending in victory.
"If you think the trophy is Iran's, go ahead and celebrate with them. But for me, the trophy is still up for grabs," Souto said in response to a question from an Uzbek journalist who felt Iran had won everything in the final against Indonesia, at a press conference after their 5-3 victory over Japan at the Indonesia Arena on Thursday.
"Of course Iran has great players and strong physiques, but we will play our cards right," Souto added.
