The AFC U-17 Asian Cup, formerly known as the AFC U-16 Championship and AFC U-17 Championship, is a football competition, organised by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) held once every two years for Asian under-17 teams that also serves as a qualification tournament for the FIFA U-17 World Cup. The top 4 countries qualify to participate in the FIFA U-17 World Cup. Up to 2000, the tournament was for U-16 teams. Between 2002 and 2006 it was held as an under-17 tournament. Between 2008 and 2020, it was switched back to a U-16 Championship. The AFC then returned it to an under-17 tournament starting from 2023.{{cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/news/afcsection/afc-competitions-committee-recommends-changes-to-youth-competitions|title=AFC Competitions Committee recommends changes to youth competitions|publisher=Asian Football Confederation|date=26 November 2018}} Moreover, the tournament would also be rebranded from the "AFC U-16 Championship" to the "AFC U-17 Asian Cup".{{cite web|url=https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-beach-soccer-championship/latest/news/afc-rebrands-age-group-championships-to-afc-asian-cups|title=AFC rebrands age group championships to AFC Asian Cups|publisher=Asian Football Confederation|date=2 October 2020}}
