The 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualification will be the qualification process organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to determine the participating teams for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, the 18th edition of the international men's football championship of Asia. Since 2019, the Asian Cup final tournament is contested by 24 teams, having been expanded from the 16-team format that was used from 2004 to 2015.[1]

The qualification process involves four rounds, where the first two double as the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification for Asian teams.

Format

To follow, once the format and regulations have been published.

Entrants

The 46 FIFA-affiliated nations from the AFC will enter qualification. To determine which nations would compete in the first round and which nations would receive a bye through to the second round, the FIFA World Rankings of February 2019 will be used. For seeding in the second round and third round draws, the most recent FIFA Rankings prior to those draws will be used.

Due to the joint format of the World Cup and Asian Cup qualifiers, the host nation of the 2023 Asian Cup (either China or South Korea) will also enter the second round of Asian Cup qualifiers.[2]

Timor-Leste was barred from participating in the Asian Cup qualification after being found to have fielded a total of 12 ineligible players in 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification matches among other competitions.[3] However, as FIFA has not barred them from the World Cup qualifiers, Timor-Leste is still allowed to enter the competition, but will not be eligible to qualify for the Asian Cup.

The following restrictions will be applied:

  • As Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Syria had indicated they would not travel to Palestine, they may not be drawn into a group along with Palestine.[4]
