The 2013 AFC U-22 Championship qualification was the qualification tournament for the inaugural edition of the AFC U-22 Asian Cup.[1] The qualifiers took place from 23 June to 3 July 2012, but were later changed to 2–10 June for Group D, due to Nepal's request. The matches were later rescheduled to start on 16 June and 3 July for Indonesia.[2][3]

Player eligibility

[edit]

Format

[edit]

Forty-one member associations entered the qualification to grab 15 spots in the final tournament The qualifiers were to be held in seven centralized venues.

The teams were divided into six groups of six teams each and one group of five. They played in a single round-robin format and the top two teams qualifying for the tournament proper along with the best third-placed team from all the groups. The hosts of the Finals got a direct berth.

With the AFC Competitions Committee awarding the hosting rights of the 2013 Finals to Oman on 18 July 2012 and with Oman being the best third-placed side, this enabled the 2nd best third-placed team, Yemen, to enter the finals.[4]
