Qualification process

Qualification matches were played between 24 October and 8 November 2017. [3]

Although Indonesia had already qualified automatically as hosts, they also participated in the qualifiers and finished third place after going down 0–3 and 1–4 loss to South Korea and Malaysia sides respectively. [4]

Chinese Taipei returned to the tournament finals for the first time since 1974 as one of the best group runners-up. [5] [6] [7]

The 2018 qualifiers also witnessed a unique situation where two teams had to go to penalties to determine the higher-position team. It happened in Group C after Qatar and Iraq were tied in all tie-breaking criteria and both of them played among each other in the last match. [8] Qatar won the penalties and finished top of the group while Iraq finished second. [9]

Twelve out of 2018 qualified sixteen teams played in the 2016 finals.

    Concerns and controversies

    An error was made before the start of Jordan–South Korea Group C match on 22 October 2018, where the operator played North Korean national anthem instead of South Korean national anthem. [21] The wrong anthem was stopped immediately [22] and the operator has since been replaced. [23]
