Asian Cup Qualifiers 2023. All Goals.

The third round of 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualification was played from 8 to 14 June 2022 in six centralized venues. It was originally scheduled for 30 March 2021 to 29 March 2022, but the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) changed the dates on multiple occasions due to postponements of matches in the second round, impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia. A total of 24 teams (22 teams which advanced from the second round and two teams which advanced from the play-off round) participated in the third round to compete for the final 11 slots in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup. Since the 2023 former hosts China advanced to the third round of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, the automatic slot for the hosts was no longer necessary. The 24 teams were divided into six groups of four teams to play single round-robin matches in six centralized venues. The group winners and the best five runners-up across all groups qualified for the Asian Cup, where they were joined by China and by the 12 teams which qualified directly
