Wikipedia - AFC U-23 Asian Cup
The AFC U-23 Asian Cup, previously the AFC U-22 Championship (in 2013) and AFC U-23 Championship (between 2016 and 2020), is a biennial international football competition organised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for the men's under-23 national teams of Asia. Each edition of the tournament that is in an even year is linked to the qualification process for the Olympic Games, whereby the top three teams in the tournament qualify directly and the fourth-placed team may enter an intercontinental play-off match depending on the slot allocations.
The first edition was initially set to be held in 2013 and its qualification matches in 2012, but the finals tournament was postponed to be played in January 2014 due to the 2013 EAFF East Asian Cup. In 2016 the tournament was also renamed from the "AFC U-22 Championship" to the "AFC U-23 Championship". The tournament was rebranded as the "AFC U-23 Asian Cup" in 2021.
In July 2023, the AFC announced that each non-Olympic edition of the tournament would be hosted by the same association hosting the next AFC Asian Cup. However, on 24 May 2024, AFC announced that the tournament will be held quadrennially from 2028, effectively discontinued the non-Olympic qualifiers’ editions from 2030.
The AFC U23 Asian Cup is a prestigious international soccer tournament organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), showcasing the best young talent from across Asia. Established to promote the development of under-23 players, this tournament serves as a vital platform for emerging stars to gain invaluable experience and showcase their skills on a continental stage.
Held every two years, the AFC U23 Asian Cup features national teams from across the continent, competing for the coveted title and the opportunity to qualify for the Olympic Games. The tournament brings together a diverse array of teams, each representing their nation's hopes and aspirations for the future of football.
The competition is characterized by its high level of play, with teams employing a mix of tactical acumen and youthful exuberance. Matches are played in a festive atmosphere, drawing passionate fans who support their teams with fervor. The tournament not only highlights the athletic prowess of the players but also fosters camaraderie and sportsmanship among nations.
In addition to the thrilling matches, the AFC U23 Asian Cup serves as a crucial stepping stone for players aiming to transition to senior national teams, making it a key event in the football calendar. With its rich history and commitment to nurturing young talent, the AFC U23 Asian Cup continues to be a beacon of hope for the future of Asian football.
