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 tournament provides a platform for young players to showcase their skills and abilities on an international stage, with the opportunity to catch the eye of scouts and potentially earn a move to a top club in Europe or elsewhere.
Teams from countries such as Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Iran regularly participate in the AFC U23 Asian Cup, making for exciting and competitive matches. The tournament is a chance for these young players to gain valuable experience and test themselves against some of the best in the region.
Fans can expect to see fast-paced, skillful soccer with plenty of goals and drama as the teams battle it out for glory. The AFC U23 Asian Cup is a must-watch for any soccer fan looking to see the stars of tomorrow in action.
