Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Women's Asian Qualifiers

(Redirected from 2012 AFC Women's Pre-Olympic Tournament)

The Asian Football Confederation's pre-Olympic tournament was contested by eighteen teams that competed for the two allocated spots for the 2012 Summer Olympics football tournament in London. However, Qatar withdrew before playing any match.[1] The competition was originally scheduled for February 2010 but it eventually started in March 2011.

Format edit

The format was as follows:[1]

First round
The highest-ranked 5 teams in the previous tournament (Australia, China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea) received byes to the final round. Other 12 teams were divided into 3 groups by their geographical positions,[2] where each group consisted of a one-round league (round-robin) tournament at a centralized venue. Five teams (the winners and the runners-up of Group A and C, respectively, and the winners of Group B) advanced to the second round.
Second round
5 teams that advanced from the first round played a one-round league (round-robin) tournament at a centralized venue. The winner advanced to the final round.
Final round
6 teams (5 teams with the byes and 1 team from the second round) played a one-round league (round-robin) tournament at a centralized venue. The winners and runners-up qualified for the Football tournament in the 2012.
