Continental heavyweights Japan and China will rekindle their rivalry in the final of the AFC U-17 Asian Cup 2026 at the King Abdullah Sports City Hall Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Friday, May 22.
Japan, the tournament’s most successful team with four titles, will face a worthy challenger in two-time winners China. Japan blitzed to the final with a 100% record in the tournament, finishing top of Group B with three wins from three matches. The Samurai Blue booked their place in Friday’s showpiece event with a nervy penalty win over defending champions Uzbekistan.
China’s campaign has been much less smooth. They began their campaign with back-to-back losses, including a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Japan. Still, a 2-0 win against Qatar in the third match lifted them to second place. China have since been flawless, beating hosts Saudi Arabia and Australia en route to the final – their first in 22 years.
