Draw

46 out of 47 AFC member associations entered the competition. China, as the hosts, were automatically qualified for the final tournament and thus did not participate in qualification; Pakistan did not enter the competition at all.

The draw was held on 13 June 2024.[2] The ten teams hosting the qualification groups were allocated to a separate pot, with other teams seeded according to their performance in the previous tournament and qualification process (overall ranking shown in parentheses).[2]
