| | 14 teams for AFC women's championship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | In addition to battling for continental honours, the 14 teams participating in the AFC women's championship will also be competing for two-and-half slots in the FIFA Women's World Cup, which is to be played in China later this year, an AFC statement said. |
 | | With only the top team in each group and the best of the three second-placed teams advancing to the semi-finals in the AFC Championship, there could be plenty at stake when Korea DPR take on their southern rivals in their Group A match, scheduled for April 25. |
 | | As World Cup hosts, China will qualify for the finals regardless of how they fare in the AFC championship, said the statement, adding, however, the "Steel Roses" will be keen to reclaim the continental title and also avenge their second place finish to Korea at the 2002 Asian Games. |
