The qualifiers are scheduled to take place from June 23 to July 5, with only the group champions advancing to the finals in Australia from March 1-21 next year.
Group H Draw
The draw, which took place at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) House, saw Malaysia, North Korea, Palestine, and Tajikistan pitted against each other in a tightly contested group. The national team will need to put in a strong performance to overcome the stiff competition and secure a spot in the finals.
Challenges Ahead
For the record, the last time Malaysia qualified for the Women’s Asian Cup was in 1995 when it hosted the tournament, while the national team’s best ever performance in the tournament was a third-place finish in 1983, which took place in Thailand. The team will need to draw upon its past experiences and work together to overcome the challenges ahead.
