The stars of the future will be on show at the four world- class venues in Changzhou, Jiangyin, Changshu and Kunshan as the AFC delivers on its promise to provide outstanding competitions for the talent of Asia. The AFC is most grateful to the Chinese Football Association, the four host cities and the Local Organising Committees for their hard work in ensuring that this event is a worthy successor to the tournament held two years ago in Qatar.

Asia has some of the best refereeing teams in the world and just like the players you will see some of the best young referees from across the Continent in this event. We wish everyone the best of luck and hope that the spectators, both in the stadium and watching on television or engaging through social media, enjoy a glimpse of the future talent of Asia. Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa AFC President 3 HISTORY THE NEXT CHAPTER AFTER TWO EXCITING EDITIONS OF THE AFC U23 CHAMPIONSHIP SO FAR, CHINA 2018 HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE THE BEST YET.
