September 13 – The AFC has released a set of reforms covering its women’s national team competitions that revamp the qualification pathways to their finals and World Cups.
The new competition structures, that include national team youth competitions, are aimed at “increasing and creating” an equal number of match opportunities for teams over each four-year cycle and improve the competitive balance.
They see the creation of a new standalone World Cup qualification competition as well as an increase in frequency and teams for U17 and U20 finals.
