AFC U-16 CHAMPIONSHIP

[Tehranto]

north korea is a hard team, but i still think technically we are better and we can win

Yes, as long as we stay focused and aggressive, we will win.

[Kiarash]

There is a certain chance we face Iraq if we win the semi final. I want them badly, we need to take care of some business with them.

[Farhad-7]

If they're cheating ages (n. korea and iraq) is this BS then?

iraq 2 uzb 0
min 80
Uzbeks youngster soft as pudding....was expecting to see some of the russian toughness by them, didnt happen.

After becoming runners up and champions back to back in 2010 and 2012, this area, unfortunately, became an area of high interest. Some coaches with connections replaced hardworking coaches because they began to see this area as a quick path to fame and money. The same story goes about the player selection process. It is hard to limit the selection criteria strictly to athletic qualities and keep the off the field "credentials" away from infiltrating the selection process.
Moreover, in places like Africa, Middle East, and especially North Korea, bringing old players with fake young age seems to be endemic. We also have the same problem to some extent, but not at that magnitude. Iraqi players looked way older than they claim to be.

That sucks.

AFC can say what they want. They are a corrupt entity. When you have seen a 16 year old like North Korean keeper? Or the Iraqi players? It's nonsense. They are not going to disqualify so many teams.

[Tehranto]

BTW, we have three players who are 2nd in goalscoring in this tournament. Allahyar has also a handful of assist. What a beast this guy is turning out to be! Unexpected.

Iran Alireza Asadabadi (super-sub) - 3 goals
Iran Mohammad Ghaderi (starter) - 3 goals
Iran Allahyar Sayyad (starter - came off bench 1st game) - 3 goals

I know this tournament is "U16" but does anyone know what exactly is the players' age limit for this tournament?

all have to under 16

[Siavash]

Our national teams alway do well against these north Koreans. Although these Korians are trained in military type camps and physically strong and run the entire time yet for some sogycological reason they usually lose to us. from what I have seen so far if our boys cool down and control the game they can beat this koren team with at least two gols. Good luck to our boys.

They will most probably lose to Japan

[Iran Doost]

I did a Google search and according to Wikipedia:

"Players born on or after 1 January 2000 were eligible to compete in the 2016 AFC U-16 Championship"

So if that's correct info, the players can be as old as 16 years and 9 months old. Not that far from 17, and too difficult to judge by pictures since they have for the most part reached near their full height.

Chamanian suspects N.Korean players might be older than eligibility.

چمنیان: بعضی از بازیکنان کره نوجوان نیستند! تیم ملی نوجوانان در حال آماده سازی خود برای بازی با کره شمالی در مرحله نیمه نهایی مسابقات است.

به گزارش "ورزش سه"، پیروزی در این دیدار برای تیم ملی حائز اهمیت است چون در صورت دست یابی به آن به دیدار پایانی صعود خواهد کرد اما اگر شکست بخورد باید به تهران برگردد چون مسابقات بازی رده بندی ندارد. عباس چمنیان – سرمربی تیم ملی نوجوانان در مورد این بازی می گوید: بازی کره شمالی با عمان را از نزدیک تماشا کردم. کره شمالی را تیم خیلی خوبی دیدم. تیم فوق العاده سرعتی و در عین حال فیزیکی. در بعد فیزیکی خیلی خوب بودند و قد و قواره هایشان نیز بلند بود. بعید می دانم برخی از بازیکنان این تیم در رده سنی نوجوانان باشند! البته این فقط به خاطر قد و قواره هایشان نیست. در تصمیم گیری خیلی پخته عمل می کردند و این نشان می داد از رده سنی نوجوانان جلوتر هستند. این تیم در بخش حمله سرعتی عمل می کند. بازیکن با کیفیت این تیم بازیکن شماره 12 است که بازوبند کاپیتانی را هم بر بازو دارد و به نظر می رسد طراح اصلی و گرداننده توپ در تیم کره شمالی است که در بازی با عمان در هر سه خط بازی کرد! تدابیر این تیم برای حمله از جناحین هم کاملا واکاوی شد.

No proof that they are older but for sure look fit, healthy and well fed

AFC strategy to combat age-cheating bears fruit at AFC U-16

The AFC carries out age-testing using MRI scan technology and it takes place both during qualifying and at the final tournament






Conclusive scientific testing carried out on the players competing at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-16 Championship India 2016 has confirmed that there was no age-cheating at the tournament.
The AFC carries out age-testing using MRI scan technology and it takes place both during qualifying and at the final tournament, an official release said here today.
AFC Medical Committee Chairman Dr Gurcharan Singh said, .
“The AFC takes age-cheating very seriously and has a comprehensive strategy in place to combat it through close monitoring, on-site screening, sanctions, and importantly, education.
“The AFC protocol for MRI scanning was devised by a panel of international experts and is also used by FIFA for the FIFA U-17 tournaments. And thanks to our consistent strategy we are seeing great progress, as witnessed at the ongoing AFC U-16 Championship,” he said.
A total of 98 players from 11 qualifying groups were tested during the U-16 Championship qualification round in 2015. As a result of a failed MRI scan, Nepal was excluded from the championship.
Nepal’s matches in the qualifying competition were forfeited and All Nepal Football Association (ANFA) was fined.
At the final competition in India, 20 players who had not taken part in the qualifying round were tested.
The MRI tests found no age-cheating. The AFC approach to age-cheating and its adoption of medical testing in 2007 has placed it at the forefront on the issue in sport globally. The AFC’s strategy to combat age fraud is based on medical tests, extensive document verification and educating players and officials on the issue.
The number of over-age players in AFC competitions has significantly decreased since MRI scanning was started as a means of age-verification by the AFC.
The established method of medical age testing in sport is the use of MRI scans in order to determine the state of fusion of the radial (wrist) bone, the release said.
According to medical scientists, the radial bone is usually completely fused by the age of 16.
The AFC regulations stipulate that a player with a completely fused radial bone is not eligible to participate in the AFC U-16 Championship.
In much the same way as doping controls, the AFC conducts checks on players prior and during tournaments.
The AFC regulations on player eligibility provide strong sanctions for age fraud and the AFC disciplinary bodies are consistent in delivering them when cases have been discovered.
