• Syria had not initially registered to participate in the championship. However, after the event was rescheduled, they registered. Consequently, on 6 August 2025, Syria was placed in Group C without conducting the entire draw again.
• On 8 September 2025, Uzbekistan withdrew from the championship. Hence, Syria was shifted to Group D in accordance with the AHF COC Regulations.
