According to the competition guidelines, the top three teams will automatically qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics, while the fourth-placed team will have to compete against the fourth-placed team from the African region in an overtime match to qualify for the Olympics. As of now, Indonesia does not know its quarterfinal opponent, which will be Japan and South Korea, making it a thorny road for the Indonesians to qualify for Paris.
In addition to Indonesia, another strong team from Southeast Asia, Vietnam, also made it to the top eight. Vietnam beat Kuwait and Malaysia in the previous two rounds of the tournament to qualify with a six-point advantage in the early rounds.
According to the schedule, the Chinese Olympic team will face the UAE in a 9 p.m. match on Monday. Given the previous consecutive defeats against Japan and South Korea, the Chinese Olympic team is left with only 0 points in the standings, and the match will be a battle for honor.
