Australia has suffered a 4-0 defeat to reigning AFC Futsal Asian Cup™ champions Japan in a Thailand 2024 Qualifiers Group H tie in Taipei City on Saturday.

The Japanese, who emerged champions for the fourth time in 2022, face Chinese Taipei next on Wednesday, with Australia to play the hosts on Monday in the three-team group. 

Japan were simply unstoppable at the Taipei University Stadium with captain Arthur Oliveira starring with a hat-trick.
