The following teams with asterisks are the teams never entered the qualification.

Draw

The draw was held on 22 June 2023 at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. [4]

31 teams including Turkmenistan who withdrew after the draw and Thailand who automatically qualified as hosts after the draw, were seeded into four pots based on the their performance at the qualification and the final tournament of the previous edition. [5] The eight hosts of the qualification including Indonesia who withdrew the hosts after the draw, were placed into the host pots.

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
  4. If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
  5. Goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams are tied and they are playing each other in the last round of the group;
  8. Disciplinary points (yellow card = −1 point, red card as a result of two yellow cards = −3 points, direct red card = −3 points, yellow card followed by direct red card = −4 points);
  9. Drawing of lots.

Group A

Thailand already qualified to the final tournament as host country, so their matches were not taken into account when calculating the group ranking. Then, Turkmenistan withdrew after the draw. Since only two teams were competing, a total of two games were played between China and Hong Kong.
