Football Australia is today pleased to confirm that following consultation with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), Australia has been reinstated into Group H of the AFC U-20 Asian Cup Uzbekistan 2023™ Qualifiers.
Due to be staged in Basra, Iraq, Football Australia originally withdrew the Young Socceroos from these Qualifiers on August 25 over security concerns and the travel advice of the Australian Government.
The AFC has since decided that Group H of the AFC U-20 Asian Cup Uzbekistan 2023™ Qualifiers will no longer be hosted in Iraq, with a new host location to be confirmed.
The Qualifiers were scheduled to take place from 10 – 18 September, however these dates will also change.
The AFC will announce a new location and match schedule for the Group H AFC U-20 Asian Cup Uzbekistan 2023™ Qualifiers in due course.
