November 13 – The AFC has announced new details for the Women’s Asian Cup Australia 2026 during the AFC Women’s Football Committee meeting in Kuala Lumpur.
The tournament will be played from March 1-26, across three cities – Sydney, Perth, and the Gold Coast.
The competition will showcase Asia’s top 12 teams in venues including Stadium Australia and Western Sydney Stadium in Sydney, Perth Stadium, Perth Rectangular Stadium, and Gold Coast Stadium.
The Women’s Asian Cup will leverage venues used for the highly successful FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 in Australia and New Zealand. Stadium Australia hosted the 2023 Women’s World Cup Final where Spain emerged as champions over England.
The AFC Women’s Football Committee also approved the regulations for both the 2026 Women’s Asian Cup and the AFC U20 Women’s Asian Cup, as well as a new competitions calendar for 2025-29.
This revised calendar is designed to maximise the international match schedule, enhancing player welfare, competitive balance, and development opportunities for member associations through structured hosting and community engagement.
