Azerbaijan to contest play-offs for FIFA Futsal World Cup

The Azerbaijan national futsal team will contest the play-offs for the 2016 FIFA World Cup after finishing first in the Group 2 of the main round.

The Azerbaijani futsal players destroyed Sweden 8-2 and Belarus 7-2, and drew 4-4 with Croatia in their group matches in Osijek.

In the play-off draw in Belgrade on 12 February, each group winner will be drawn against a runner-up, though no team can meet a side from their main round group.

The two-legged ties on 22 March and 12 April will decide Europe's seven qualifiers for Colombia.
