The 2006 AFC Women's Championship is a women's football tournament. It will be the 15th AFC Women's Championship, a tournament for women's national teams from countries affiliated to the Asian Football Confederation.

Unlike the previous tournament which was held every two years, the tournament has been moved back a year to 2006. The structure of the competition has changed for this tournament, with a qualifying tournament and a separate championship tournament.

The four qualifiers of this sub-tournament (Vietnam, Taiwan, Myanmar, Thailand) went on to compete for the Championship proper against the four automatic finalists (China, Japan, South Korea and North Korea). Australia were added to the final tournament following their switch from Oceania to Asia. The finals of the tournament will be held in Australia in July 2006 - the hosting rights were originally given to Japan, but after Australia moved conferences, they were given the hosting rights. All matches in the main tournament will be held in Adelaide.

The best two teams at this tournament, not counting China PR, qualify for the 2007 World Cup, while the third-placed team will play off with the third-placed team in the CONCACAF region.

Qualifying

All matches were played at the My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi. The two top teams in each group qualified for the play-off stage.

Knockout stages

Template:Semi-2-groups

Semi-finals

Winners qualify for the 2007 World Cup.

In the China v North Korea match, China conceded a potential equaliser in injury time, but it was disallowed for offside. The North Koreans reacted by throwing bottles and other objects at the referees, and North Korean goalkeeper Han Hye Yong kicked Italian referee Anna De Toni from behind. Three North Korean players, including Han, were suspended before the third place play-off. North Korea protested the decision, demanding a rematch and a reversal of the suspensions.[1]

Third place playoff

As China are automatically qualified as hosts, the winner of this match will qualify for the World Cup. The loser will play off with the third-placed team from CONCACAF.
