Saturday's first quarter-final will see Saudi Arabia facing China PR at the Shenzhen Youth Football Training Base Centre Stadium.

Saudi Arabia, who topped Group B, won the last of their three titles in 2018 while China PR's sole triumph was achieved in 1985. The hosts advanced to the knockout stage as the Group A runners-up. 

Up next on Saturday will be Group A winners Australia playing Iraq at the Baoan Sports Centre Stadium.

Australia are seeking to lift the trophy for an inaugural time while Iraq, who finished as the Group B runners-up, are chasing a sixth title but first since emerging champions in 2000. 

Islamic Republic of Iran, who topped Group C with a perfect record of three wins, will face Group D runners-up Japan in the early quarter-final on Sunday.

It promises to be a sizzling affair at the Shenzhen Youth Football Training Base Centre Stadium with Iran seeking a first title since the last of their four triumphs in 1976 while Japan’s only win was in the 2016 edition. 

The last of the quarter-final ties will be contested between Group D winners Korea Republic and Group C runners-up Uzbekistan.

Korea Republic are aiming to emerge champions for a record-extending 13th time, having last lifted the trophy in 2012  but Uzbekistan will surely prove to be tough opponents at the Shenzhen Youth Football Training Base Pitch 1, with the Central Asian side aiming to defend the title won on home soil in 2023.
