The 2016 AFC Solidarity Cup was the first edition of the AFC Solidarity Cup, an international football tournament. It took place between 2–15 November 2016 in Malaysia.[1][2][3]


The tournament was created by the Asian Football Confederation as a replacement for the AFC Challenge Cup which was played for the last time in 2014.


A total of nine teams were eligible to compete in this edition of the tournament. Six teams were eligible to compete after losing in the first round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup/2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification competition, while three teams were eligible to compete after losing in the play-off round 2 of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification competition. After Pakistan and Bangladesh withdrew, only seven teams competed in the tournament.[4]

Notes


  1. ^ Pakistan withdrew after the draw.[8]


  2. ^ Because Bhutan did not express an interest in participating in the tournament prior to the draw, to ensure that both groups have a minimum of four teams, the loser of Play-off 2.2 was assigned to position 5 in Group A.[7]Bangladesh withdrew after losing in the play-off round.[4]




Squads



Each national association must submit a list of 18–23 players, three of those players must be goalkeepers.[9]



Group stage


The tournament's format would change depending upon the number of teams that agree to partake in the competition. Should nine teams enter, the two group winners advance to the final. Should only eight teams enter, the two group winners and two group runners-up advance to the semi-finals.[9] Since at the end only seven teams entered, the top two teams of each group advanced to the semi-finals.


Tiebreakers

The teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers were applied in the following order:[9]


  1. Greater number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;


  2. Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;

  3. Greater number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;

  4. If, after applying criteria 1 to 3, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 9 apply;

  5. Goal difference in all the group matches;

  6. Greater number of goals scored in all the group matches;


  7. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are involved and they are both on the field of play;

  8. Fewer score calculated according to the number of yellow and red cards received in the group matches (1 point for a single yellow card, 3 points for a red card as a consequence of two yellow cards, 3 points for a direct red card, 4 points for a yellow card followed by a direct red card);

  9. Drawing of lots.

All times were local, MYT (UTC+8).[10]
