The draw was held on 13 June 2024 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 14:00 local time (UTC+8).

The 43 teams were allocated to three groups of five teams and seven groups of four teams, with teams seeded according to their performance in the 2023 AFC U-17 Asian Cup final tournament and qualification (overall ranking shown in parentheses; NR stands for non-ranked teams). A further restriction was also applied, with the ten teams serving as qualification group hosts drawn into separate groups. [3]
