The Asian Football Confederation has confirmed the qualification of Nepal to the AFC U16 Championship 2016 tournament to be held in India next year. In the recently held U 16 Qualifiers, there were 11 groups from which each group winner and four best runner up teams have qualified. India finished among the top 4 runner up teams. Since India as host have already qualified for the finals of AFC U 16 Championship, they vacated one spot which was occupied by Nepal. India (3rd Best Runner-Up) has thus given away its spot to its neighbor Nepal.
The 15 teams, apart from India U 16, that will be seen playing in the tournament next year in India are: Uzbekistan, Oman, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Malaysia, DPR Korea, South Korea, Australia, Japan — group winners. Vietnam: 1st Best Runner Up, Thailand: 2nd Best Runner Up, UAE: 4th Best Runner Up, Nepal: 5th Best Runner Up
The draw for the AFC U16 Championship 2016 will be held at a later date.
