With the AFF Futsal Championship 2022 coming up early next month and which will be used as the ASEAN qualifiers for the AFC Futsal Championship later in the year, the appointment of Hashemzadeh is timely indeed.
The 45-year-old Iranian and former assistant coach to the Iranian national team has extensive experience at the club and national team level.
For the AFF Futsal Championship 2022, Indonesia is in Group A along with Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Brunei DS.
Indonesia’s first game in the competition will be against Brunei DS in Thailand on April 3.
