Turkmenistan national futsal team

The Turkmenistan national futsal team represents Turkmenistan in international futsal competitions and is controlled by the Football Federation of Turkmenistan.

Overview

The team avoided preliminary qualification for the 2008 AFC Futsal Championship. They made the last direct spot in the finals despite finishing bottom of their finals group in 2007. Turkmenistan caused the first real upset of the championship with a 1–0 win over Australia in their opening game, Elman Tagayev scoring the only goal in the first half. After this came a 1–7 loss to Kyrgyzstan and a 2–5 reversal to Korea Republic. Turkmenistan was not expected to make it out of the group after poor performances in previous championships. The team performed poorly in 2005, and in the following year they had little chance in a group that included Iran and Thailand.

In March 2019, the Football Federation of Turkmenistan named Robert Grdović as the head coach of the Turkmenistan national futsal team, signing a one-year contract.
