Starting from 1984, the qualification process will be divided into three regions, the Asian Zone, the European Zone and the Pan American Zone. The Asian Zone is subdivided into two subzones, the West and the East. Teams in their respective zone will first compete in a round-robin elimination format. The top two teams will advance to the knockout stages to compete for a place in the final tournament to be held in Kuala Lumpur. [1]
