Afghanistan Cricket Board’s (ACB) Chairman Mirwais Ashraf and CEO Naseeb Khan attended the Asian Cricket Council’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Bali this week.

According to the ACB, member nations across Asia also attended. A number of financial and operational decisions were approved at the meeting, one of which was an increase in funding for the ACB.

In a statement issued Thursday by the cricket board, the ACB said: “In a significant move, the ACB’s request for the share of the budget equivalent to that of other full member countries including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, was approved.”

ACB officials also met with their counterparts from other member countries present and discussed numerous issues including the need to increase the participation of Afghan umpires at ACC matches and the need for additional capacity-building efforts for the ACB’s technical staff by the Asian Cricket Council.

Majid Mortezaei, head coach of the country’s national futsal team, says Asia must believe that there is still a power called “Afghanistan” in futsal.

In a press conference on Saturday ahead of Afghanistan match against Kyrgyzstan, Mortezaei said the national team will do its best to go to the World Cup.

“Tomorrow, we will do our best to go to the World Cup. If it doesn’t happen, nothing will decrease from our values, because we have done many great things so far,” he said.

“Kyrgyzstan is a good team. They won against Japan. We have the experience of facing them in CAFA, but this Kyrgyzstan team is a different team,” he added.

According to Mortezaei, Afghan players have done intensive training and know how to play in difficult and sensitive conditions.

It should be noted that Afghan futsal team won 5-3 against Iraq on Friday.

The Kyrgyz team has also reached this stage of the competition by winning against Vietnam.

Afghanistan has a chance to advance to the Futsal World Cup 2024 by winning against Kyrgyzstan tomorrow (Sunday, April 28th).
