Kuala Lumpur: As the dust settles on the FIFA Women’s World Cup, attention turns to the Continent’s major women’s youth competitions, which produced more than 80 per cent of the Asian players at France 2019.
The AFC U-16 Women’s Championship and the AFC U-19 Women’s Championship – both to be staged in Thailand in late 2019 – are considered some of the strongest women’s youth competitions in the world, producing seven World Cup-winners at either U-17 or U-20 level.
But while both competitions have produced globally competitive age-group sides, their long-term value is highlighted by the central role they played as a pathway to senior World Cup football for Asian players.
