The 2015 AFF Futsal Championship was the 12th edition of the tournament which was held in Thailand from 8 to 16 October 2015.[1] This edition will also act as a qualification tournament for the 2016 AFC Futsal Championship.
A statement in June stated that Thailand and Australia were already assured of qualification to the 2016 AFC Championship, due to their positioning in the previous (2014) edition.[2] This was later modified back so that those who reach the semi-finals shall qualify.[3]
Singapore participated at the tournament after a 13-year absence, last participating at the inaugural edition in 2001.[4]
The tournament was originally set to be hosted by Indonesia[5] [6] but the country's national football association was suspended by FIFA, barring the country from both hosting and participating in the tournament.
The following groups were drawn at the 15th AFF Council meeting in Singapore on 16 June 2015.[7]
