Five U17 Asian Cup qualifiers moved to Thuwunna Stadium

Five matches in Group A of the 2027 AFC U17 Asian Cup Qualifiers, hosted by the Myanmar Football Federation (MFF), will be relocated from Padonmar Stadium to Youth Training Centre in Thuwunna due to prevailing weather conditions.
The venue change was made following recommendations from AFC competition officials and was approved by the AFC after the MFF submitted a request.
Thuwunna Stadium has better drainage and floodlighting systems, allowing matches to resume as quickly as possible if they are suspended due to bad weather. It also offers better facilities for smooth live television broadcasts.
Hosts Myanmar U17 will play three matches at Youth Training Centre in Thuwunna and one at Star City Sports Club. The team faced Afghanistan U17 at Thuwunna Stadium on 8 November.
All qualifying matches will be broadcast live on free-to-air television channels and YouTube. — TWA/KZL
