2023 AFC Asian Cup squads

The 2023 AFC Asian Cup was an international football tournament held in Qatar from 12 January to 10 February 2024. The 24 national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad with a minimum of 18 players and a maximum of 26 players, at least three of whom had to be goalkeepers. Only players in these squads were eligible to take part in the tournament.

Before announcing their final squads, teams had to send AFC a provisional squad of 18 to 50 players; each country's final squad had to be submitted at least ten days prior to the first match of the tournament (Regulation 26.7.3). Replacement of players was permitted until six hours before the team's first Asian Cup game (Regulation 26.9). In December 2023, AFC approved the increase of the maximum number of players included on the final list from 23 to 26 (Regulation 26.7). On 4 January 2024, the AFC published the final lists with squad numbers.
