Qualified teams for Youth Olympics
editThe following two teams from AFC qualified for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics boys' futsal tournament.[10]
| Team | Qualified on | Previous appearances in Youth Olympics |
|---|---|---|
| Iran |
24 May 2017 | 0 (debut) |
| Iraq |
24 May 2017 | 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.[4]
