SINGAPORE, 3 NOVEMBER 2022 – Singapore will face Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates and Turkmenistan in the first round of qualifying for the AFC U17 Women’s Asian Cup™ Indonesia 2024.

 

The official draw was conducted earlier today afternoon in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for Round 1 of the Qualifiers, which saw 29 teams drawn into five groups of four and three groups of three. Placed in Group D, Singapore will host the other three sides from 22 to 30 April 2023 as they bid to secure a place in Round 2 of the Qualifiers.

 

Only the eight group winners will progress to Round 2, where the four best sides across two groups will advance to the Finals alongside the top three teams from the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 – champions Japan, DPR Korea and China PR – and hosts Indonesia.

 

Singapore’s only previous involvement at the tournament came in the inaugural edition in 2005, when it was still known as the AFC U-17 Women’s Championship.
