Qatar is set to host the 6th edition of the AFC U23 Asian Cup™. The tournament will bring together the best 16 under-23 football teams in the continent, with the top three teams directly qualifying to the 2024 Summer Olympics. The fourth-place team will compete for an Olympic spot in a playoff with a team from the Confederation of African Football.
Prices for group stage match tickets start at 15 QAR and can be purchased online through the Hayya to Qatar mobile app. Spectators from outside Qatar can also purchase tickets from the same platform. Hayya will not be a mandatory prerequisite to enter stadiums.
Spectators can book seats for any of the 32 matches that will take place in Qatar between 15 April and 3 May. The four venues set to host the tournament are Jassim Bin Hamad, Al Janoub, Abdullah Bin Khalifa and Khalifa International stadiums. This will be the first time that this tournament is played on FIFA World Cup™ venues.
Fans will be able to download the tickets to their digital wallets, meaning that they don’t need Internet connectivity at the stadium. This creates both a seamless and paper free experience, reaffirming Qatar’s commitment to delivering a sustainable tournament.
All matches will have accessible seats available to ensure that disabled fans can enjoy a barrier-free experience. This includes wheelchair accessible seating as well as seats for people with limited mobility. Those persons accompanying a disabled fan will receive a complimentary ticket.

“We recognize the importance of sports in building strong, robust and tolerant societies. Hosting Asia’s shining stars of the future reaffirms our commitment to the principles and ideals of the Olympic movement. We look forward to seeing these promising athletes shine in a world-class sporting ecosystem,” said Jassim Al Jassim, AFC U23 Asian Cup 2024™ LOC CEO.
“With Qatar having claimed glory during the Asian Cup only a few months ago, we hope that this will inspire our younger players to perform well and claim a spot in the upcoming Summer Olympics. Regardless of who claims the title, I am certain that fans will be treated to magical performances on the pitch while enjoying an array of activities throughout the the country,” added Al Jassim.
Drawn alongside hosts Qatar in Group A are Australia, Jordan and Indonesia, while Group B will bring together Japan, Korea Republic, United Arab Emirates and China PR.
