U23 Asian Cup Qualifying Rules

The qualifying rules for the U23 Asian Cup are first in each group, second in the top four, and the host team will also get a promotion place in the qualifiers.

The U23 Asian Cup qualifiers are competitions set up by the AFC to select teams to participate in the U23 Asian Cup. Held every two years, it is an important youth football match in Asia. Teams are divided into 1 1 groups to play. Each team consists of four teams, which adopts a single round robin system, that is, each team plays a game with the other three teams.

After the group stage, each group will be ranked according to the level of points. In the case of the same score, compare each other's competition results, goal difference and number of goals in turn to determine the group ranking. According to the rules of the competition, the first place in each group and the second place in the four best teams will be qualified for promotion. It is worth mentioning that the host team will also get the qualifying places and compete with other 15 teams for the honor of U23 Asian Cup.

Introduction of 2024 U23 Asian Cup Qualifiers

In the 2024 U23 Asian Cup qualifiers and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games Asian regional qualifiers, the top three will be qualified for the Paris Olympic Games, and the fourth will compete with the fourth place in Africa for 1 Olympic ticket.

The 2024 U23 Asian Cup qualifiers will be divided into 1 1 groups, and the advanced 16 teams will participate in the finals. Because the North Korean team has announced its retirement, and the host Qatar team only counts as a friendly match when participating in the second group competition, when calculating the second place of the four best results, the second place of the four teams in the same group will not be counted together with the fourth place in the same group to show fairness.
