Teams qualifying for the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship

X-ray tests and bans

In May 2001, 16 players were banned from international football for 2 years following X-ray tests that suggested they were at least 19 years old. Of the teams involved, Oman had 6 players banned, Iran 5, Bangladesh 3 and Thailand 2. Nepal did not allow its players to be tested. These five teams were banned from the next edition of the tournament.

Despite the disciplines, the final results of the tournament were not changed due to the draws were already taken place before the ban and the finalists Iran and Oman both participated in the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship. At the tournament held in Trinidad and Tobago, both sides failed to make it past the group stage as well as Japan, with Iran losing every match they played and Oman only drawing once.
