The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has today decided to postpone the AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022™ Qualifiers Draw, originally scheduled for May 27, 2021 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, until further notice.

Taking into careful consideration the current challenges and logistical arrangements, the AFC agreed that the postponement of the draw was a necessary step due to rising COVID-19 cases in the host nation as well as across the Continent keeping in mind the wellbeing and safety of all teams, players, officials and relevant stakeholders.
