Kuala Lumpur: The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) notes the inability of the DPR Korea Football Association (DPRK FA)’s national age-group teams to compete in the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup India 2022 and FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Costa Rica 2022 respectively.
The AFC Women’s Football Committee at its third meeting held on October 14, 2021, had decided that in the unfortunate event of possible withdrawals from the respective FIFA competitions, the next highest ranked team from the respective qualification competitions would represent Asia accordingly.
