Host selection

The winning bid was announced on 4 June 2019, on the eve of the 69th FIFA Congress in Paris, France.[3]

Qualification

The first two rounds of qualification also act as the Asian qualification for the World Cup, in which Qatar have already qualified automatically. Qatar are participating in these rounds only for qualification to the 2023 Asian Cup.[4] China, which have automatically qualified for the 2023 Asian Cup, will also participate in the qualifiers in order to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Timor-Leste were barred from participating in the qualification tournament after being found to have fielded a total of twelve ineligible players in 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification matches, among other competitions.[5] However, as FIFA did not bar them from the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Timor-Leste were still allowed to enter the competition, but were ineligible to qualify for the Asian Cup.[6]

Qualifying began on 6 June 2019 for 23 spots joining the host nation China. The tournament will take place in June and July 2023, moved from the typical January/February scheduling of the AFC Asian Cup due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which will take place in November and December 2022.
