Preliminary qualifying

In December 2005, Bangladesh and Pakistan played off in a home and away series (with Bangladesh hosting the first leg), to determine which team would progress to the final qualifying round. This was originally scheduled in November but the earthquake in Pakistan forced it to be postponed.

After goalless in the first leg in Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dhaka, Bangladesh on December 22, 2005, Bangladesh won the second leg thanks to the goal from Firaj Mahmud Hossain at the 84 minute in People's Sports Complex, Karachi, Pakistan four days later. Bangladesh qualified with the 1–0 on aggregate.

eedings

The seeding was based on performances in, and qualifying for, the 2004 competition. As Korea Republic were knocked out in the quarter-finals and Saudi Arabia failed to qualify beyond the group stage, they were therefore put into the second pot. The Australia team which had just joined the Asian Football Confederation on January 1, 2006 and have not participated in the previous tournament was given the lowest rank.
