AZERBAÏDJAN : Clamsii LR ¤ KR Hafnarfjörður ¤
Reigning Asian champions and finalists at the last VFIFA World Cup ... Clamsii has made Azerbaijani fans extremely demanding!
He has lived up to their expectations, finishing top of Group 1 and qualifying directly for the semi-finals.

TÜRKIYE: guantanamera SFMC'06 - La Vinotinto
guantanamera were the very first team to bring the VFIFA World Cup to Asia, back in season 121 for the 48th CDM.
Turkish fans are dreaming of their former glory. Second place on 7 points is a very respectable result, but will it be enough to keep them in the knockout phase of the competition?

MACAO: Emualliug Macao FC #AFC
Second appearance in the Asian Cup for the competition's smallest nation.
With no points and no goals scored, Emalliug unfortunately failed to beat the predictions of his country's many bookmakers.
But could this be a way to make money from sports betting?
Take heart ... we can only improve

JAPAN : maxence97300 Esprit Shōnen FC ~©~
The VFIFA World Champion! For the second time in its history, a world champion is competing in the VFIFA Asian Cup, so congratulations once again to maxence
However, was it the pressure that was heavy on the Japanese players' shoulders?
Indeed, second until the final day, it was with a big 7-1 victory in Laos that they snatched first place on goal difference.
A direct qualification for the semi-finals for the country of the rising sun, but we had "a little" doubt.

SOUTH KOREA: Louve Mini Hulk ~CN~
Louve's South Korea had already taken part in the Asian Cup a few seasons ago.
But she had to step away from the virtual fields for IRL reasons ... just long enough to build up a 'list of achievements' ... the best of all: Louve has become a mother!
Heart with fingers, as they say, and congratulations Louve
Nevertheless, far from coming here to make up the numbers, as demonstrated by their two 0-0 draws against the world champions, South Korea only finished second in the group on goal difference.

LAOS: Leguman VFIFA - ລາວ LAOS #AFC
A terrible team that scares ... its own fans ^^
In almost 10 years (IRL) of playing in the VFIFA competition, this nation has never made it out of the groups.
However, we had a great time in Vientiane !!!
only 1 goal scored, admittedly ... but the first goal conceded in VFIFA competition by the reigning World Champion!
Forever the first

VIETNAM : enez U.S.Groix #AFC
Whether it's Bastoun or Enez, Vietnam is a team that is always represented in VFIFA, and every time it's a very strong team.
With Enez having been eliminated from the VFFA Challenge, all their ambitions are now focused on the VFIFA Asian Cup.
A tense double-header against China, with two 0-0 results, but a group run that saw Vietnam finish first and qualify directly for the semi-finals.

CHINA: Tengen Tianjin TEDA [C&F]
China, the world's most populous nation, made its return to the VFIFA.
With just one goal scored in four matches, Tengen and China had a great run, but with 6 points, it's hard to finish as best runner-up.
Here's to future VFIFA competitions

[Direct elimination phase:[/b]
The semi-finals, final and small final are to be played as single matches at random
I'm not setting a deadline, as I think the rest of the competition can be played in good harmony
