Squads

Each nation must submit a squad of 20 players, 17 of whom must be born on or after 1 January 1995, and three of whom can be older dispensation players.

Draw

The draw for the tournament was held on 5 July 2018 with initially 24 teams involved. The teams were seeded into four pots based on their performances in the previous Asian Games in 2014. The hosts Indonesia were automatically assigned into position A1.[5] However, the initial draw result was scratched because the UAE and Palestine were omitted,[6][7] so the draw result had to be reconfirmed on 25 July 2018, and the ceremony reopened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 3:00 p.m. local time (7:00 a.m. GMT).[8][9] Palestine were added to Group A and the UAE were added to Group E. Iraq, which were initially placed in Group C, later withdrew from the tournament. To re-balance the groups so that every group has at least four teams, another re-draw was held on 3 August 2018 to determine which of Palestine or UAE would be moved to Group C to replace Iraq. The UAE were drawn.[10]

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4 Pot 5 (additional draw)

Group stage

The top two teams in each group, and the four third-placed teams among six groups advance to the round of 16.[1] All times are local, WIB (UTC+7).[11]

Tiebreakers

Teams in a group are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings.[1]

  1. Highest number of points obtained in all group matches;
  2. Highest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  3. Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
  4. Highest number of goals scored from all group matches between the teams concerned;
  5. If two or more teams have equal ranking with the criteria so far, reapply the criteria above only for them. If this re-application gives no more ranking, apply the following criteria.
  6. Goal difference in all group matches;
  7. Highest number of goals scored in all group matches;
  8. Kicks from the penalty mark only if two (2) teams are involved and they are both on the field of play.

    • First yellow card: 1 point;
    • Indirect red card (second yellow card): 3 points;
    • Direct red card: 3 points;
    • Yellow card followed by direct red card: 4 points;
  10. Drawing of lots

  1. Highest number of points obtained in all group matches;
  2. Goal difference in all group matches;
  3. Highest number of goals scored in all group matches;
  4. Fewer points of yellow/red cards in all group matches (only one of these deductions shall be applied to a player in a single match):
