Notes:
On 6 December 2007 the Asian Football Confederation announced the seeding for the preliminary round of the 2011 tournament: [1]
| Automatic Qualifiers | Other Teams | 
|---|---|
The preliminary round reduced the number of non-automatic qualifiers to 20. Following the withdrawals of Korea DPR, Myanmar and Turkmenistan, only two teams were involved. The two lowest ranked AFC teams, Lebanon and Maldives, played home-and-away matches in April 2008. The away goals rule would be applied, and extra time and penalty shootout would be used to decide the winner if necessary. The winner of the preliminary round advanced to the qualifying round, where it was joined by the 19 teams seeded 4th to 22nd.
| Team 1 | Agg. | Team 2 | 1st leg | 2nd leg | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lebanon  | 6–1 |  Maldives | 4–0 | 2–1 | 
Lebanon won 6–1 on aggregate and advanced to the group stage.
The 20 teams were divided into five groups of four. Teams played each other home and way in a round-robin format. The top two in each group advanced to the 2011 tournament where they were joined by the other qualifiers — Qatar, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, India and North Korea.
The following teams were drawn at this round:
| Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
