Draw
Summarize
Perspective
Of the 47 AFC member associations, a total of 24 teams entered the competition, with Japan, Australia, and China PR automatically qualified for the final tournament by their position as the top three teams of the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup and thus did not participate in the qualifying competition. Jordan also automatically qualified for the final tournament as hosts, but decided to also participate in the qualifying competition.[5]
The draw was held on 21 January 2017, 15:00 AST (UTC+2), at the Grand Hyatt in Amman, Jordan.[6][7] The 21 teams were drawn into one group of six teams and three groups of five teams.[5]
The teams were seeded according to their performance in the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup final tournament and qualification. The following restrictions were also applied:[8][9]
- The four teams which indicated their intention to serve as qualification group hosts prior to the draw were drawn into separate groups.[10]
- As Iran and Syria had indicated they would not travel to Palestine, they would not be drawn into the group hosted by Palestine.
