The eight (8) nations will be competing for the lone qualification spot available from this tournament, into the main event in Bangladesh and Nepal, early next year. Nigeria U19 Women are the Defending Champions from the previous edition of the Africa Qualifier, after they qualified as a result of finishing above Zimbabwe in group stage, with the Final getting abandoned due to rain.
Kenya and Malawi teams have qualified in this tournament, after finishing as the winner and runners-up during the Division 2 qualifier tournament, which took place in Uganda in March this year.
