Kuala Lumpur: AFC U19 Championship 2020 Qualifiers draw was held at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Thursday.   2014 winners and 2018 semi-finalists Qatar have Sri Lanka, Turkmenistan and Yemen for company in Group B, while Group A will see five-time champions Iraq face Pakistan, Kuwait, Palestine and Oman.   There will be 46 teams taking part in the qualifiers, who have been divided into two zones – East and West. While the former has 21 teams, the latter has a pool of 25 teams. These teams have been divided into 11 groups with four teams each, apart from Group A and G, who have five sides each.   Four-time champions Islamic Republic of Iran missed the last edition in Indonesia and will be hoping to make amends in Group D when they host Nepal, Kyrygz Republic and United Arab Emirates, who were the champions in 2008.   Group E pits 2016 quarter-finalists Bahrain against Bhutan, Bangladesh and Jordan, while defending champions Saudi Arabia will entertain Afghanistan, India and Uzbekistan in Group F.   Top spot in the respective groups will earn direct qualification, while the four best second-placed teams will also advance to the 2020 Finals.   Should the yet to be determined host for the Finals finish either top of their group or among the best four second-placed teams, the next (5th) second-placed team in the ranking among all groups will qualify instead.   The Qualifiers will be played on November 2-10, 2019.
