TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran discovered its challengers following the official draw ceremony for Round 2 of the AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup Indonesia 2024 Qualifiers at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Thursday.

Each group will be played as a single round-robin league format in a centralized venue between September 16 to 24, 2023, with the Host Member Association to be determined at a later stage.

Four teams – the winners and runners-up of each group – will qualify for the AFC U-17 Women’s Asian Cup Indonesia 2024, set to be held from April 7 to 20, 2024.
