  1. FIBA Asia U-16 Championship was planned to be held in 2021, but postponed to 2022. It seems that they stick to allow players born on or after 2005 to participate, maybe to align with 2022 FIBA U-17 World Cup.
  2. AVC U-18 Girl's Championship was originally U-17 competition for players born on or after 2006[6], but later changed to U-18 so the age restiction was also changed to 2005.

Handball
