The qualification tournament took place in Thailand, one pool in Almaty while the second in Nakhon Pathom.
China and Kazakhstan managed to grab tickets from the Pool A, while Chinese Taipei, Australia and Fiji won’t get the chance at this tournament. In Pool B, South Korea and Thailand were the best in the Pool with North Korea, Iran and Vietnam.
“My players’ performance lived up to the coaches’ expectations. It was just the first mission of our team to qualify for the Japan finals. However, I want to praise DPR Korea for their solid performance in this match against us,” says Thailand head coach Danai Sriwacharamaytakul.
Recall that Japan is the fifth team to play at the World Championship from Asia.
