Identify the first four teams advancing to the quarter-finals of the 2026 Asian Cup.

Following two rounds of matches in Groups A and B, the four national teams Australia, South Korea, China, and North Korea have officially earned their tickets to the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women's Asian Cup.

After two matches in Groups A and B of the 2026 Women's Asian Cup, the first four teams to qualify for the quarter-finals have officially emerged. The participating names include Australia, South Korea, China, and North Korea, as all four teams achieved victories in their first two matches.

In Group B, North Korea continued to demonstrate superior strength by defeating Bangladesh with a decisive 5-0 score. Meanwhile, China also faced little difficulty in overcoming Uzbekistan with a 3-0 victory. This result helped the two East Asian teams secure early entry into the knockout round.

After two matches, North Korea and China both have a perfect 6 points, leading Uzbekistan and Bangladesh by 6 points. Due to a better goal difference (+8 compared to +5), North Korea currently temporarily leads Group B. In the final match, they only need a draw against China to maintain the top position in the group.

A similar situation also unfolded in Group A when the two strong teams South Korea and host Australia early secured their advancement. Both achieved victories against Philippines and Iran after two matches. However, South Korea is temporarily ranked higher due to a better goal difference compared to Australia.

Meanwhile, Philippines and Iran still have a chance to compete for a quarter-final spot as one of the two best-performing third-placed teams. Therefore, the encounter between these two teams in the final match promises to be tense, aiming to keep hopes alive for progressing in the tournament.

In Group C, the Vietnamese women's national team will enter its second match against Chinese Taipei at 12:00 on March 7. If they secure a victory and Japan does not lose to India in the other match, Coach Mai Đức Chung and his team will also early register their name in the quarter-finals of the 2026 Women's Asian Cup.
