AFC has shifted the venue for group F AFC Asian cup women's qualifiers from Kathmandu, Nepal to Uzbekistan.

The AFC has confirmed that Uzbekistan (most probably in Tashkent) will host the qualifiers (matches of other groups as well) as a neutral venue.

The reason behind shifting the venue (neutral) is mainly because of rising cases of COVID and travel restrictions put by several countries.

The qualifiers date hasn't been confirmed yet.

Nepal is grouped with Philippines and Hong Kong in the qualifiers. One team will go to the final round to be played in India early next year.

Nepal women’s team has already started preparation for the qualifiers. Australia Gary Phillips is the head coach of the team.
