International football competition

The 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup was the 20th edition of the AFC Women's Asian Cup, the quadrennial international football tournament in Asia competed by the women's national teams in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

India was recommended as the host of the tournament by AFC Women's Football Committee and selected as the host in June 2020. It was the second time that the country hosts the competition, the first being in 1979. On 28 January 2021, the AFC confirmed that the tournament would take place between 20 January and 6 February 2022, instead of the original scheduled dates of late October and early November.

For the first time in the competition, the final tournament was expanded from eight teams to twelve. It served as the final stage of Asian qualification for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand (Regulations Article 4.6), in which Australia already qualified automatically as a co-host. Five teams qualified directly for the World Cup via the knockout stage, and two more teams advanced to the inter-confederation play-offs.

Japan were the two-time defending champions, but were eliminated in the semi-finals by China PR on a penalty shoot-out. China PR went on to win the title, their ninth title in total, by defeating South Korea 3–2 in the final.

Host selection

The following three football associations submitted their interest to host the tournament by the 31 May 2019 deadline.

India had previously hosted the 1980 AFC Women's Championship, originally scheduled for 1979, and Chinese Taipei had hosted the 1977 and 2001 editions of the tournament.

India was recommended as the host for the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup by the AFC Women's Football Committee on 19 February 2020. On 5 June 2020, India was awarded the hosting rights.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

The 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup was held amidst the COVID-19 pandemic which affected the organization of the tournament. As a response, the tournament was held under a bio-secure bubble setup. All participating teams were granted exemption from institutional quarantine when foreigners are normally required to undergo home quarantine for seven days from 11 January 2022. Members of the participating team are to undergo initial test for COVID-19 upon arrival. They are required to stay put on their hotels while they await their test results. Following negative test results, movement of players and officials are to be restricted to the hotel, the training and match venues.

Several teams reported positive COVID-19 cases during the duration of the tournament namely China, India, Japan, South Korea, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Host India were the most affected, with as much as 12 of their players testing positive for COVID-19 which rendered them unable to name 13 players required for their match against Chinese Taipei. India was forced to withdraw form the tournament due to tournament regulations.

Logo and sponsorships

The official logo for the tournament was unveiled by the AFC and the local organising committee on 20 July 2021. The logo features the AFC Women's Asian Cup trophy at the centre, with a "swirl" surrounding the trophy "inspired by the national flags and colours of playing kits in Asia, and the iconic stadiums in which the AFC Women’s Asian Cup is played in and celebrates cultural diversity and the unwavering support and enthusiasm of fans for their national teams". The logo also contains elements inspired by the tournament host country. The maroon colour of the logo is inspired by the art of the Warli people, a tribe native to the northern Western Ghats in the tournament's host state of Maharashtra. Red and maroon colours are often used as the base of Warli paintings. The use of silver in the logo is inspired by the "importance of silver jewellery in Indian households and the beauty and elegance of the precious metal".

The official global partners of the tournament were Continental AG, Credit Saison, Neom, and Yili Group, while Kelme and Konami are official global supporters.
