A total of 21 AFC and OFC teams entered the competition. However, Iran withdrew before the draw was made. The Asian and Oceanian zone was allocated 2 places (out of 24) in the final tournament.

Format

There would be two rounds of play:

  • First Round: The remaining 20 teams would be divided into 4 groups. The groups had different rules, as follows:
    • Group 1 had 5 teams. The teams played against each other on a home-and-away basis. The group winner would qualify.
    • Group 2 had 5 teams. The teams played against each other once in Saudi Arabia. The group winner would qualify.
    • Group 3 had 4 teams. The teams played against each other once in Kuwait. The group winner would qualify.
    • Group 4 had 6 teams. All matches were played in Hong Kong. There would be four stages of play:
      • Classification matches: All teams would be paired up to play preliminary matches to determine group classification.
      • Group stage: Based on the results of the classification matches, the 6 teams were divided into 2 groups of 3 teams each. The teams played against each other once. The group winners and runners-up would advance to the semifinals.
      • Semifinals: The winner of Group A played against the runner-up of Group B in a single match, and the winner of Group B played against the runner-up of Group A in a single match. The winners would advance to the Final.
      • Final: The 2 teams played against each other in a single match. The winner would advance to the Final Round.
  • Final Round: The 4 teams played against each other on a home-and-away basis. The group winner and runner-up would qualify.

Notes
  1. ^
    The match was held in Malaysia due to China and Saudi Arabia not having diplomatic relations.

Play-off

At the time, goals scored and head-to-head results were not used to rank teams level on points and goal difference. As China PR and New Zealand finished level on points and goal difference, a play-off on neutral ground was played to determine who would qualify.[1]

The match was originally planned to be played in Kuala Lumpur until New Zealand protested due to the venue hosting previous matches for China. Melbourne was also considered before Singapore was ultimately chosen.[2]
