Since the hosts United Arab Emirates advanced to the third round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification, the automatic slot for the hosts is no longer necessary. The 24 teams were divided into six groups of four teams to play home - and - away round - robin matches. The top two teams of each group will qualify for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, where they are joined by the 12 teams which qualified directly from the second round. Qualified teams Group ( 2nd round ) Runners - up ( Worst 4 ) Third place Fourth place ( Best 4 ) -- Palestine -- Jordan Kyrgyzstan -- -- Hong Kong -- Oman Turkmenistan Guam -- Singapore Afghanistan -- Vietnam -- Lebanon Kuwait Myanmar North Korea Philippines Bahrain Notes Jump up ^ Guam withdrew from the tournament due to financial constraints. The All Nepal Football Association announced on 27 December 2016 that they accepted an offer from the AFC to replace Guam. Jump up ^ The Kuwait Football Association was suspended by FIFA. Kuwait had a deadline of 11 January 2017 for lifting of the suspension, but they were unable to do so and were replaced by Macau. Play - off Round 1 winners Cambodia Yemen Tajikistan Malaysia India Play - off Round 2 winners Maldives Bhutan Chinese Taipei Due to the withdrawal of Guam and the suspension of Kuwait, the AFC invited both Nepal and Macau, the top two teams of the 2016 AFC Solidarity Cup, to re-enter 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification as replacements in order to maintain 24 teams in the third round of the competition.

A new date has yet to be announced. Jump up ^ Due to the death of Kim Jong - nam that led to a diplomatic crisis between Malaysia and North Korea, the Malaysian government decided to disallow the Malaysian football team from playing in North Korea for safety reasons. On 10 March 2017, the Asian Football Confederation ( AFC ) announced that North Korea 's home match against Malaysia, originally scheduled for 28 March at the Kim Il - sung Stadium in Pyongyang, would be postponed, with the AFC announcing on 15 March 2017 that the match would be played on 8 June. On 17 May 2017, the AFC announced that the match was postponed for a second time, to 5 October, due to `` geo - political tension on the Korean Peninsula ''. The AFC announced on 28 September 2017 that the match was again postponed after the Malaysian government announced a travel ban on Malaysian nationals visiting North Korea. Jump up ^ Had diplomatic relations between the two countries not returned to normal, the match between North Korea and Malaysia would be played at a neutral venue, and Malaysia 's home match against North Korea would also be moved to a neutral venue to preserve sporting values and the spirit of fair play. After the AFC received confirmation that Malaysians were allowed to travel to North Korea, the AFC agreed that the match would be played in Pyongyang. However, at the announcement of the second postponement, the AFC said the venue would be decided after monitoring the safety and security of the AFC Cup and AFC U-23 Championship qualifying matches taking place in North Korea in the coming months. ^ Jump up to : Afghanistan will play their home matches in Tajikistan due to security concerns from the war in Afghanistan. ^ Jump up to : The Singapore - Chinese Taipei match, originally scheduled for 13 June 2017 at the Singapore National Stadium, was brought forward at the request of the Football Association of Singapore to accommodate a possible Singapore - Argentina friendly at the same location on 13 June. In addition, the game will be held away from the Singapore National Stadium due to the venue hosting a rugby test match between Scotland and Italy on the new date. ^ Jump up to : Yemen will play their home matches in Qatar due to security concerns from the Saudi Arabian - led intervention in Yemen.
