The AFC U19 Championship is held every two years by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
Now in its 39th edition, the U19 Asian Championship is scheduled to run between October 13 and 30, with the participation of 16 teams. Qatar are the reigning champions.
As in previous editions, the 2016 tournament acts as the AFC qualifiers for the FIFA U20 World Cup, with the top four teams from the Bahrain tournament qualifying for the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup in the Republic of Korea.
As the RoK qualify automatically as hosts, if they are among the top four teams, the fifth-placed team will also qualify.
