'''[[Association football|Football]]''' at the [[2003 Afro-Asian Games]] was held in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]], [[India]] from 22 to 31 October 2003. The football preliminaries commenced two days before the Opening Ceremony of the Games.

The football tournament was a men's-only event. Eight teams were set to participate, but only 7 played. [[Uzbekistan]] were the gold medalists. The host country took silver, while [[Zimbabwe]] won bronze.

==Original setting and withdrawals==

Initially, eight teams were set to participate in the football events - [[India]], [[Uzbekistan]], [[Zimbabwe]], [[Rwanda]], [[Iran]], [[Malaysia]], [[Cameroon]] and [[Burkina Faso]]. However, [[Cameroon]] withdrew, and [[Ghana]] was decided to replace Cameroon.

Just before the preliminaries were to begin, [[Ghana]] pulled out of the football events, leaving only seven teams participating.

==Venues==

The football events were held in two stadiums - the [[GMC Balayogi Athletic Stadium]], which was the main stadium of the Games; and the [[Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium]]. The football finals were held in the latter stadium.
