Founded in 2013, the U23 Asian Cup has been held five times so far, every two years. China's U23 men's football team participated in the 2013, 2016, 2018 and 2020 Asian Cups, but has won only one of its four games (beating Oman 3-0 in 2018), losing 11 games, scoring 10 goals and conceding 21 goals. For well-known reasons, the Chinese U23 men's football team did not participate in the 2022 U23 Asian Cup qualifiers and lost the qualification for the main tournament for the first time.
