Of the AFC's 47 member associations, North Korea and Macau, China are absent from the tournament, while the Pakistan Football Association (PFA) is unable to participate due to a FIFA ban. The tournament is divided into 10 groups, with five teams in Group 4 and four teams in Group 6. The draw was based on the rankings of the 2018 AFC U19 Championship, with China in the second slot. It is worth mentioning that the AFC Competition Committee specifically decided not to establish the principle of East and West Asian divisions for the qualifiers. Uzbekistan, as the hosts, have long locked up a ticket to the final round, and the results of the qualifiers are irrelevant to them, so they are placed in the fifth slot.

Here is how the 44 teams were slotted: - First slot: Saudi Arabia (hosts), South Korea, Qatar, Japan, Thailand, Tajikistan (hosts), Australia, Indonesia (hosts), UAE, Jordan (hosts) - Tier 2: China, Malaysia, Iraq (host), Vietnam, Chinese Taipei, Cambodia, Iran, Yemen, Oman (host), Bahrain (host) - Tranche 3: Syria, Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Lebanon, Hong Kong (China), Mongolia (host), Kyrgyzstan (host), Philippines, Palestine - Tranche 4: Laos (host), Turkmenistan, Singapore, Timor-Leste, Maldives, Brunei, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Afghanistan, Kuwait - Tranche 5: Bhutan, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Uzbekistan (host of the final stage) After a tense and exciting draw, the 2023 AFC U20 Asian Cup Uzbekistan Qualifiers are grouped as follows: - Group A: Saudi Arabia (hosts), China, Myanmar, Maldives, Uzbekistan (final stage hosts) - Group B: Qatar, Bahrain (hosts), Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan - Group C: Japan, Yemen, Palestine, Laos (hosts), Guam - Group D: Jordan (hosts), Chinese Taipei, Syria, Turkmenistan, Northern Mariana Islands - Group E: Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia (host), Sri Lanka - Group F: Indonesia (hosts), Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, Timor-Leste - Group G: Thailand, Oman (host), Philippines, Afghanistan - Group H: Australia, Iraq (host), India, Kuwait - Group I: Tajikistan (host), Cambodia, Lebanon, Singapore - Group J: UAE, Iran, Kyrgyzstan (host), Brunei Darussalam The 2023 AFC U20 Asian Cup Qualifiers will be played from September 10 to 18, 2022, with the first place finishers of the 10 groups and the second place finishers of the five best-performing groups advancing to the main round. Together with the hosts, a total of 16 teams are competing for the final stage of the tournament to be held in February 2023 in Uzbekistan.
