The 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship was the 8th edition of the AFC U-16 Women's Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for the women's under-16 national teams of Asia. The tournament was held in Thailand between 15 and 28 September 2019, [1] with a total of eight teams competing.

Contents

The top two teams of the tournament would have qualified for the 2021 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup (originally 2020 but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic) in India as the AFC representatives, besides India who would have automatically qualified as hosts. [2] However, FIFA announced on 17 November 2020 that this edition of the World Cup would be cancelled. [3]

This edition was the last to be played as an under-16 tournament, as the AFC have agreed to the proposal for switching the tournament from under-16 to under-17 starting from 2022. [4]

North Korea were the defending champions, but were defeated 2–1 in the final by Japan.

Qualification

Four teams qualified directly for the final tournament: the hosts and the top three of 2017. The other four spots were determined by the qualifying stage.

A total of 30 teams entered the qualifying stage. Due to the increased number of teams, two qualification rounds were scheduled for the first time. The first round was scheduled for 15–23 September 2018, [5] and the second round was scheduled for 23 February – 3 March 2019. [6]

[12] On 16 March 2022, the AFC announced that China PR would replace North Korea as the AFC's representatives at the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. [13] On 16 August 2022, it was announced that the All India Football Federation, or AIFF, was suspended by FIFA due to undue influence from third parties.
