Uzbekistan to host 2020 AFC U-23 Championship qualification

After the official draw will be held in Thailand, Uzbekistan will learn the opponent teams in the qualification to be held on 18-26 March 2019.

This AFC U-23 Championship will act as the AFC qualifiers for the Olympic football tournament. The top three teams of the tournament will qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics men's football tournament in Japan as the AFC representatives. As Japan had already qualified as the host team of the 2020 Summer Olympics, if they reach the semi-finals, the fourth-place team will also qualify.
