2024 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup Qualification

The 2024 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup qualification is a women's under-17 football competition that will determine the participating teams in the 2024 AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup final tournament. Players born on or after 1 January 2007 are eligible to participate.

A total of eight teams will qualify to play in the final tournament. The host country and the top three teams of the previous tournament in 2019 will qualify automatically, while the other four teams will be decided by qualification.

There will be two rounds of qualification matches, with the first round scheduled to be played between 22–30 April 2023, and the second round originally scheduled to be played between 16–24 September 2023.

Teams

Of the 47 AFC member associations, a total of 29 teams entered the competition, with Japan, North Korea and China automatically qualified for the final tournament by their position as the top three teams of the 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship qualification and thus not participating in qualification. The draw for the first round of the qualifiers was held on 3 November 2022, 16:00 MYT ( UTC+8), at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The 29 teams were allocated to five groups of four teams and three groups of three teams, with teams seeded according to their performance in the 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship final tournament and qualification (overall ranking shown in parentheses; NR stands for non-ranked teams). A further restriction was also applied, with the eight teams serving as qualification group hosts drawn into separate groups.
