Dates for expanded AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022 confirmed

The AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022™ is primed to surpass all expectations and celebrate several new milestones for women’s football in the Continent following the success of the 2018 edition in Jordan, which was widely-acclaimed as a breakthrough tournament after it was held in the West Zone for the first time.

The AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022™ will feature Asia’s top 12 teams, expanded from eight in the previous edition, comprising three groups of four, with a minimum of 25 matches played over 18 days and eight teams qualifying for the newly introduced Quarter-finals.

Adding to the intensity, the tournament will also serve as the qualifiers for the historic cross Confederation FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 to be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, which will see a record five Asian teams seal their spots to join host Australia during the AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022™ for the newly-expanded 32-team global showpiece.

The AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022™ Qualifiers is set to take place from September 13 to 25, 2021 in a centralised venue as the Continent’s hopefuls compete for the final eight spots to join the three highest-ranked sides from the last AFC Women’s Asian Cup – champions Japan, Australia and China PR – who alongside host India receive automatic qualification into the 2022 Finals.
