Bhutan withdraw, send Kuwait to Round Three

Bhutan withdrew from AFC qualifying, making Kuwait the second team to receive a walkover in the first round, along with Indonesia.

Unlike Indonesia, due to their seeding Kuwait will advance directly into round three and join Australia, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and Iran.

Also, new site locations have been confirmed. Iraq announced that their home game against Pakistan will take place in Aleppo, Syria. Palestine announced that they will play host to Singapore in Doha, Qatar. Afghanistan will take on Syria in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. East Timor have moved their home game versus Hong Kong to Bali, Indonesia.
