Venues
The matches were originally due to take place across four venues.[6] Due to construction delays and failure to meet the security requirement, early matches scheduled at the Bangkok Futsal Arena were moved to the Hua Mark Indoor Stadium.[7] After the final inspection on 5 November, FIFA announced that the Bangkok Futsal Arena had not sufficiently met the criteria. The two quarter-final matches would be played at Nimibutr Stadium, while Hua Mark Indoor Stadium would host the semifinals and the final.[8]

Draw
The official draw for the World Cup was held in Bangkok, Thailand on 24 August 2012.[12]
The 24 teams were divided in six groups, each group with four teams.[13]
First round
The group winners and runners up along with the 4 highest rank third places advanced to the round of 16.[14]
The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows:
- greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
- goal difference in all group matches;
- greatest number of goals scored in all group matches;
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows:
- greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
- goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
- greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
- drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.
