Eight teams will discover their Group Stage rivals for the ninth edition of the tournament that will be played from May 6 to 19, 2024 in Bali, Indonesia, who will hold it for the first time.

Philippines created history when an Isabella Preston free-kick earned them a 1-0 win over Vietnam to clinch the runners-up spot in Group B of Qualifiers Round 2, and a place in Indonesia 2024.

The result not only meant Philippines finished as the Qualifiers Round 2 Group B runners-up but also qualified for the Finals for the first time.

Australia finished top after four goals from Sienna Dale powered them 4-0 past Bangladesh earlier on Sunday.

Australia, Philippines, Group A winners Korea Republic and runners-up Thailand join the three highest-seeded sides from the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 – current holders Japan, DPR Korea and China PR - and hosts Indonesia in the April 7-20 Finals.

Both teams, however, had already sealed qualification to the Finals with a match to spare after wins over India and Islamic Republic of Iran.

India finished third after defeating Iran 3-0 earlier on Saturday.

There's still a game against Bangladesh remaining but with six points, Australia have assured themselves a place among the top two in Group B.

As for Vietnam, they are still in the hunt for a place in the Finals and face a direct fight with their next opponents Philippines, who put themselves back into contention after a 3-1 win over Bangladesh earlier on Friday.

Korea Republic defeated Islamic Republic of Iran 8-0 while Thailand beat India 4-0 with the two to meet on Saturday to decide the Qualifiers Group A winners.

They join the three highest-seeded sides from the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 – current holders Japan, DPR Korea and China PR - and hosts Indonesia in the Finals with two more teams to be decided from Group B which is being played in Hanoi.

Vietnam were also victorious, defeating Bangladesh 2-0 to close on in a place in the Finals.

Thailand were equally impressive as an exciting attacking display earned them a 6-0 win over Islamic Republic of Iran.

The second round of Qualifiers will run from September 19 to 24 and involves two groups of four, with the top two teams from each to join the three highest-seeded sides from the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship Thailand 2019 – current holders Japan, DPR Korea and China PR - and hosts Indonesia in the Finals.

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