This time, there were twelve teams in the tournament instead of the usual eight. The reason for this was that it also decided which Asian teams would get to play in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Australia was already in the World Cup because they were hosting it. Five teams got to go to the World Cup straight from this tournament, and two more had a chance to play in a special playoff.
Japan had won the tournament the last two times, but this time they got knocked out in the semi-finals by China on penalties. China then won the tournament by beating South Korea 3-2 in the final.
Three football associations showed that they wanted to host the tournament before the deadline on 31st May 2019.[6]
India had already hosted the 1980 AFC Women's Championship, which was initially planned for 1979. Chinese Taipei had hosted the tournament in 1977 and 2001.[7]
The AFC Women's Football Committee suggested that India should host the tournament on 19th February 2020. Then, on 5th June 2020, India was officially given the rights to host the tournament.[8][9]
Teams were ranked based on the number of points they earned in matches. They got 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. If two or more teams had the same number of points, the following rules were used to decide who is ranked higher:
