Nepal has been confirmed as the host nation of the first round of the Women's Olympic Football Asian Qualifiers for the Paris Olympics in 2024, ANFA said on its website on Sunday.
Nepal have been drawn alongside Vietnam, Palestine and Afghanistan in Group C. Palestine will not travel to Nepal after they withdrew from the tournament.
“AFC confirmed Nepal as the host nation for Group C,” ANFA added.
The first round matches will be held from April 3 and 11.
Seven group winners from the first round will join North Korea, Australia, China, Japan and South Korea—who received bye as the five-highest ranked teams—in the second round.
The 12 teams will be drawn into three groups in the second round, with the winner of each group and one best runner-up advancing to the third round. The top two teams from the third round will secure their berths in the Paris Olympics 2024.
