The 2024 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup qualification was a women's under-17 football competition that determined the participating teams in the 2024 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup final tournament. Players born on or after 1 January 2007 are eligible to participate.

A total of eight teams qualified to play in the final tournament, with the host country and the top three teams of the previous tournament in 2019 qualifying automatically.

There were two rounds of qualification matches, with the first round played between 22–30 April 2023, and the second round played between 19–24 September 2023.[1][2]

Teams

Of the 47 AFC member associations, a total of 29 teams entered the competition, with Japan, North Korea and China automatically qualified for the final tournament by their position as the top three teams of the 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship qualification and thus not participating in qualification.[lower-alpha 1] The draw for the first round of the qualifiers was held on 3 November 2022, 16:00 MYT (UTC+8), at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[3]

The 29 teams were allocated to five groups of four teams and three groups of three teams,[lower-alpha 1][4] with teams seeded according to their performance in the 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship final tournament and qualification (overall ranking shown in parentheses; NR stands for non-ranked teams). A further restriction was also applied, with the eight teams serving as qualification group hosts drawn into separate groups.

Player eligibility

Format

In each group, teams played each other once at a centralised venue.

  • In the first round, the eight group winners advanced to the second round. However, the final tournament hosts Indonesia did not advance to the second round. Their matches were not taken into account when calculating the group ranking.
  • In the second round, the two group winners and the two group runners-up qualified for the final tournament to join the four automatically qualified teams.

Tiebreakers

Teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied: (Regulations Article 7.3):[5]

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  4. If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are tied and they met in the last round of the group;
  8. Disciplinary points (yellow card = 1 point, red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points, direct red card = 3 points, yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points);
  9. Drawing of lots.
