Draw
Of the 47 AFC member associations, a total of 23 teams entered the competition. The qualification process is divided into four zones: ASEAN Zone, Central Zone, East Zone and West Zone (no teams from South Zone entered qualification). The 12 spots in the final tournament are distributed as follows:
- Hosts: 1 spot
- ASEAN Zone: 3 spots
- Central Zone: 3 spots
- East Zone: 2 spots
- West Zone: 3 spots
As the final tournament hosts had not been announced at the time of the qualifying draw, the hosts were also included in the draw. Despite having automatically qualified for the final tournament, they may still decide to participate in qualification, and if they finish in one of the qualification spots, the next best team in their zone also qualifies.
The draw for the qualifiers was held on 30 August 2018, 15:00 MYT (UTC+8), at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[3][4][5] The mechanism of the draw for each zone is as follows:
- ASEAN Zone: Five teams entered the competition, and they were placed into one group, so no draw was necessary. The top three teams qualify for the final tournament.
- Central Zone: Initially five teams entered the competition, and they were placed into one group, so no draw was necessary. However, after Uzbekistan were added, a re-draw for the Central Zone was held on 18 September 2018 at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[6][7] The six teams were drawn into two groups of three. The winners of each group, and the winners of the play-off between the runners-up, qualify for the final tournament.
- East Zone: Six teams entered the competition, and they were drawn into two groups of three. The winners of each group qualify for the final tournament.
- West Zone: Six teams entered the competition, and they were drawn into two groups of three. The winners of each group, and the winners of the play-off between the runners-up, qualify for the final tournament.
The teams were seeded according to their performance in the 2017 AFC U-20 Futsal Championship final tournament.
