Nepal U16 have been grouped with Tajikistan, Jordan, Sri Lanka and Kuwait in AFC U16 championship 2020 qualifiers.

AFC held the draw in KL, Malaysia on Thursday.

Jordan will host the qualifiers from September 14.

As the host for the Finals has yet to be determined, should the yet to be determined host finishes among the qualified as either top of their group or one of the four best second-placed teams, the next (5th) second-placed team in the ranking among all groups will qualify instead.

Groups with five teams will kick-off the 2020 Qualifiers on September 14, followed by the groups of four teams on September 18, with all ending on the 22nd.

Japan clinched their third AFC U-16 Championship title last October, after beating Tajikistan 1-0 in the finals.
