2019 AFC Asian Cup
The tournament was expanded to 24 teams from the previous format of 16 teams , which had been used since 2004 . Only the hosts will receive an automatic qualification spot , while the other 23 teams will qualify through a qualification tournament . At the finals , the 24 teams will be drawn into six groups of four teams each . The teams in each group play a single round robin . After the group stage , the top two teams and the four best third teams will advance to the knockout stage , beginning with the round of 16 . For the first time since a knockout stage was added to the competition in 1972 , there will be no third place play - off . The format is exactly the one which was applied to UEFA Euro 2016 , and is similar to the format of the 1986 , 1990 , and 1994 FIFA World Cups , except that the World Cup included a third place play - off .

The IOC has enacted several initiatives to mitigate these concerns . Firstly , the commission has agreed to fund part of the host city 's budget for staging the Games . Secondly , the qualifying host countries are limited to those that have the resources and infrastructure to successfully host an Olympic Games without negatively impacting the region or nation ; this consequently rules out a large portion of the developing world . Finally , any prospective host city planning to bid for the Games is required to add a `` legacy plan '' to their proposal , with a view to the long - term economic and environmental impact that hosting the Olympics will have on the region .

Women's empowerment
Women 's empowerment is the process in which women expand and recreate what it is that they can be , do , and accomplish in a circumstance that they previously were denied . Alternatively , it is the process for women to redefine gender roles that allows for them to acquire the ability to choose between known alternatives whom have otherwise been restricted from such an ability . There are several principles defining women 's empowerment such as , for one to be empowered , they must come from a position of disempowerment . Furthermore , one must acquire empowerment themselves rather than have it given to them by an external party . Other studies have found that empowerment definitions entail people having the capability to make important decisions in their lives while also being able to act on them . Lastly , empowerment and disempowerment is relative to other at a previous time ; therefore , empowerment is a process , not a product .
Women's empowerment
Many of the barriers to women 's empowerment and equity lie ingrained in cultural norms . Many women feel these pressures , while others have become accustomed to being treated inferior to men . Even if men , legislators , NGOs , etc. are aware of the benefits women 's empowerment and participation can have , many are scared of disrupting the status of the women and continue to let societal norms get in the way of development .

Australia 2022 FIFA World Cup bid
The need for all World Cup stadia to be used only for World Cup games prior to and during the World Cup has caused controversy with the Australian Football League and National Rugby League , who claim that loss of access to almost all their major venues for eight weeks would severely disrupt their seasons and even impact the viability of their clubs . The AFL in particular has advised it will not give up Docklands Stadium in Melbourne , and the management of Docklands Stadium ( which includes the AFL as part owners of the venue ) has ruled out use of the stadium for the bid . The use of these shared venues remains the only option for the bid , with the Australian authorities unwilling to invest massive amounts of money in new association football - only stadia . The development of Kardinia Park ( Skilled Stadium ) in Geelong has been proposed to replace the loss of Docklands Stadium in the FFA bid , following the World Cup the stadium would be reconfigured to a larger oval for AFL use . Compensation claims for the disrupted seasons of the local codes may run into several hundred million dollars . The AFL and NRL and possibly also the Australian Rugby Union ( ARU ) will lobby for equity from government .
