The 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup will be the 20th edition of the AFC Women's Asian Cup, the quadrennial international football tournament in Asia competed by the women's national teams in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).[1]

India was recommended as the host of the tournament by AFC Women's Football Committee and selected as the host in June 2020.[2][3] It will be the second time that the country hosts the competition, the first being in 1979.[4] On 28 January 2021, the AFC confirmed that the tournament would take place between 20 January and 6 February 2022, instead of the original scheduled dates of late October and early November.[5][6]

For the first time in the competition, the final tournament was expanded from eight teams to twelve.[7] It will serve as the final stage of Asian qualification for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand (Regulations Article 4.6)[1], in which Australia already qualified automatically as a co-host.[8] Five teams will qualify directly for the World Cup via the knockout stage (including play-offs for fifth place or possibly sixth place), and two more teams will advance to the inter-confederation play-offs.

Japan are the defending champions.

Host selection

The following three football associations submitted their interest to host the tournament by the 31 May 2019 deadline.[9]

India had previously hosted the 1980 AFC Women's Championship, originally scheduled for 1979, and Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) had hosted the 1977 and 2001 editions of the tournament.[10]

India was recommended as the host for the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup by the AFC Women's Football Committee on 19 February 2020.[2] On 5 June 2020, India was awarded the hosting rights.[3][11]

Qualification

The winners of these playoff matches will advance to the World Cup, and the losers will enter the inter-confederation play-offs.

  • If Australia is eliminated in the group stage, then the losers of the quarter finals will play two rounds of repechage playoffs. The first round will follow the same format as if Australia reached the semifinals. The winners of the first round matches will play each other, with the winner advancing to the World Cup and the loser entering the inter-confederation play-offs.
