A total of 16 teams qualify to play in the final tournament, including Chinese Taipei who qualified automatically as hosts.[3]

The qualification process will be divided to four zones, where the ASEAN Zone doubled as the 2017 AFF Futsal Championship, the East Zone and West Zone will be played in Thailand, and the South Zone were merged to Central Zone after Nepal was the only team from South Zone.

Qualification process

Of the 47 AFC member associations, a total of 29 teams entered the competition. The 16 spots in the final tournament are distributed as follows:

  • Host : 1 spot
  • ASEAN Zone : 4 spots
  • South & Central Zone : 4 spots (the two zones were merged since Nepal was the only team from South Zone)
  • West Zone : 4 spots
  • East Zone : 3 spots

As the final tournament hosts had not been announced at the time of the qualifying draw, the hosts Chinese Taipei 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 (East) advances to play-off.

  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 met in the last round of the group;
