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.

Chonburi: The path to potential Continental glory was revealed for Asia’s stars of tomorrow as the official draw for AFC U-19 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 was conducted on Thursday.
The ceremony, held at Chonburi’s Oakwood Hotel, saw the eight qualified teams split into two groups of four ahead of the competition’s October kick-off, setting the stage for a number of intriguing fixtures.
First-time hosts Thailand have a tough challenge ahead if they are to end a 15-year semi-final drought, after they were drawn alongside DPR Korea, Australia and Southeast Asian neighbours Vietnam in a difficult Group A.
Champions in 2007, DPR Korea were runners-up in the 2017 edition of the competition, while Australia finished in fourth place to narrowly miss out on qualification for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
Meanwhile, five-time champions and current title holders Japan will meet China PR in a highly-competitive Group B, which also includes Korea Republic and Myanmar.
