2010 AFC Challenge Cup

The 2010 AFC Challenge Cup football tournament will be held in a yet to be determined location.[1] The winner will qualify for the Asian Cup 2011. However, if India successfully defends its 2008 title, the runner-up will qualify instead.

Tournament

The finals will see three automatic qualifiers joined by five teams from the qualification phase. Qualification consists of two sections.

  • A playoff between the 19th and 20th ranked entrants (Mongolia and Macau)
  • Four qualification groups for four teams. Each group winner will advance to the finals, along with the best-ranked runner-up. No official indication has been received to suggest how the best-ranked runner-up will be chosen given the withdrawal of Afghanistan - however, the AFC regulations for this tournament[2] suggest that matches against the fourth-placed side in the four team groups should be excluded for the purposes of comparison.

Seeding

Seeding was based partially on the FIFA World Ranks as at January 2009 (ranking shown in brackets).
