The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is the governing body of association football, beach soccer, and futsal in most countries and territories in Asia.[a] The AFC was formed in 1954. It has 47 members. The Asian Ladies Football Confederation (ALFC) was the section of AFC that managed women's association football in Asia. The group was independently founded in April 1968 in a meeting involving Taiwan, British Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. In 1986, ALFC merged with AFC.[5]

Notes:

  1. ^ India failed to name the required 13 players and were unable to play their match of the group stage against Chinese Taipei due to them having fewer than 13 players left with the remaining team members testing positive for COVID-19. They were considered to have withdrawn from the tournament, and all previous matches played by them were considered "null and void" and would not be considered in determining the final group rankings.[29]
