Uzebkistan set to kick off the U20 Asian Cup as AFC nations hunt World Cup slots
February 24 – Uzbekistan is set to host the AFC U20 Asian Cup, kicking off March 1, which will qualify four AFC nations to the U20 World Cup 2023 to be hosted in May/June in Indonesia.
The U20 tournament is a revisioning of the U19 tournament that was last won in 2018 by Saudi Arabia who beat South Korea 2-1 in Indonesia.
The 2020 edition was scheduled to take place in Uzbekistan but was postponed twice due to the Covid pandemic and then adjusted to an U20 format to qualify teams for the Indonesian-hosted U20 World Cup finals.
