Format

Qualification ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule would be applied, and if still level, the penalty shoot-out would be used to determine the winner (no extra time would be played).[6] The seven winners of the second round qualified for the final tournament.

The second round was initially scheduled to be played on 8–10 April (first leg) and 22–24 April (second leg), but was later changed to be played during the FIFA International Match Calendar dates of 4–12 April.
