AFC Women's Asian Cup
Set to take place on July 29, 2025, the draw for the Continental showpiece will be staged at the iconic Sydney Town Hall, fittingly, in the city where the final match of the competition will also be played.
The draw will bring together representatives from across the Continent as the 12 participating teams learn their Group Stage fates for Asia’s premier women’s national team competition, which will take place from March 1 to 21, 2026, across three host cities - Perth, Gold Coast, and Sydney.
The race for the finals will kick off with the qualifiers for the competition, running from June 23 to July 5, 2025, where 34 teams will vie for one of the eight coveted spots in the tournament to join hosts Australia and the top three finishers from the AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022™ -reigning champions China PR, runners-up Korea Republic, and third-placed Japan -to complete the line-up.
The Final Draw will see the host nation occupying the top spot in Group A, while the remaining 11 teams will be drawn into three groups of four.
Additionally, for the first time in the competition’s history, the seeding for the draw will be based on the latest available FIFA Women’s World Ranking, replacing the previous format where seedings were based on past tournament and qualification performances.
