Guagzhou represented China, while the Nepali team was not the full national team, which was playing the Olympics Qualifiers. The status of the Bangladesh team is not clear. [2]
Guangzhou secured a place in the final after defeating Bangladesh 2–0 in the semifinal. In the third-place match, Pakistan Greens were awarded the bronze medal after Bangladesh forfeited the contest by request of the Bangladesh delegation, which resulted in Pakistan Greens winning the third place.

The final match featured Guangzhou against Pakistan Whites, with Guangzhou emerging victorious with a 3–1 win. The Chinese team took an early lead in the 12th minute through a goal by Li Chaobo, assisted by Jiang Guliang. Pakistan Whites equalised shortly after via inside-left Anees, who converted a free kick from the right flank. However, Guangzhou regained the lead with a headed goal by Ma Jianqiang, who also scored again before halftime, giving Guangzhou a 3–1 advantage at the break. [2] [5]
