The 2022 AFC Futsal Asian Cup was the 16th edition of the AFC Futsal Asian Cup,[1] the biennial international futsal championship organised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for the men's national teams of Asia. A total of 16 teams compete in the tournament.[2]

Kuwait was appointed as hosts of the 2020 AFC Futsal Championship, after replacing the original hosts Turkmenistan. However, AFC announced the cancellation of the tournament on 25 January 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The tournament was scheduled to be played in Kuwait from 16 to 27 February 2022.[4] On 5 July 2021, the AFC announced that the tournament would be held between 27 September and 8 October 2022.

Japan defeated defending champions Iran in the final to claim their fourth title.
