The 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup was the 20th edition of the AFC Women's Asian Cup, the quadrennial international women's football tournament in Asia competed by the national teams in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).[3]

India was selected as the host nation by the AFC Women's Football Committee in June 2020.[4][5] It was the first time that the country hosted the competition since 1979.[6] On 28 January 2021, the AFC confirmed that the tournament would take place between 20 January and 6 February 2022, instead of the original scheduled dates of late October and early November.[7][8]

For the first time in the competition, the final tournament was expanded from eight teams to twelve.[9] It served as the final stage of Asian qualification for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand (Regulations Article 4.6),[3] with Australia qualifying automatically as co-hosts.[10] Five teams qualified directly for the World Cup via the knockout stage and two more advanced to the inter-confederation play-offs.

Japan were the two-time defending champions, but were eliminated in the semi-finals by China PR on penalties. The Chinese went on to win their ninth title by defeating South Korea 3–2 in the final.

The top three teams qualified for the 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup.[11]

Host selection

[edit]

The following three football associations submitted their interest to host the tournament by the 31 May 2019 deadline.[12]

India had previously hosted the 1980 AFC Women's Championship, originally scheduled for 1979, while Chinese Taipei hosted the 1977 and 2001 editions of the tournament.[13]

India was recommended for hosting the tournament by the AFC Women's Football Committee on 19 February 2020.[4] On 5 June 2020, the country was awarded the hosting rights.[5][14]

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

[edit]

The 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup was held amid the COVID-19 pandemic which affected the organization of the tournament. As a response, the tournament was held under a bio-secure bubble setup.[15] All participating teams were granted exemption from institutional quarantine when foreigners were normally required to undergo home quarantine for seven days from 11 January 2022. Members of the participating teams underwent initial tests for COVID-19 upon arrival. They were required to stay in their hotels while they awaited their test results. Following negative test results, the movement of players and officials were restricted to the hotel, and the training and match venues.[16]

Several teams reported positive COVID-19 cases during the tournament, namely China,[17] India,[18] Japan,[19] South Korea,[18] Myanmar,[18] the Philippines,[17] and Vietnam.[18] Host India were the most affected, with as many as 12 players testing positive for COVID-19, rendering them unable to name 13 players for their match against Chinese Taipei, as required. India was forced to withdraw due to tournament regulations.[20][21]

Qualification

[edit]

The champions would receive US$1 million, the runners-up receive US$500,000 while the losing semi-finalists each receive US$150,000.[42] In addition, five percent of the prize money earned by the champions and runners-up would be kept and issued to the AFC Dream Asia Foundation to fund social responsibility activities.[3]

Play-offs

[edit]

The format of the play-offs round depended on the performance of Australia, who qualified automatically for the World Cup as hosts.[43] Since Australia was eliminated in the quarter finals, the play-offs format was for the remaining three quarter-final losers to play a single round-robin play-off. The best team after three matches advanced to the World Cup, and the remaining two teams entered the inter-confederation play-offs.

Marketing

[edit]
[edit]

The official logo for the tournament was unveiled by the AFC and the local organizing committee on 20 July 2021. The logo features the AFC Women's Asian Cup trophy at the center, with a "swirl" surrounding the trophy "inspired by the national flags and colors of playing kits in Asia, and the iconic stadiums in which the AFC Women’s Asian Cup is played in and celebrates cultural diversity and the unwavering support and enthusiasm of fans for their national teams". The logo also contains elements inspired by the tournament host country. The maroon colour of the logo is inspired by the art of the Warli people, a tribe native to the northern Western Ghats in the tournament's host state of Maharashtra. Red and maroon colours are often used as the base of Warli paintings. The use of silver in the logo is inspired by the "importance of silver jewelry in Indian households and the beauty and elegance of the precious metal".[45]
