With the AFC Women's Asian Cup group stage drawing on the horizon, all 12 teams that will compete in the continental showpiece have been confirmed.  

The thrilling qualifications are done and dusted, and the remaining two tickets for the India 2022 have been filled, with both Chinese Taipei and Myanmar booking a spot in the draw on Thursday.  

Chinese Taipei swatted aside Bahrain 2-0 in their final qualifiers at Khalifa Sports City Stadium in Manama, sealing their return to the tournament for the first time in 14 years, while Myanmar grabbed three successive wins to progress in ruthless fashion. 

Japan, Australia and China, who have already been granted automatic berths at the tournament as winner, runner-up and third-place finisher, respectively, in the last edition in 2018, will be the firm favorites to go all the way. Other hopefuls are Thailand, South Korea, the Philippines, Vietnam, Iran and Indonesia while hosts India will also aim for glory. 

The final draw will be staged in Malaysia, where the teams will be divided into three groups of four. The top five finishers, excluding 2023 hosts Australia, will win spots at the 2023 Women's World Cup with the following two advancing to the play-offs. 

The tournament will be held in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Pune from January 20 to February 6.
