Notes
  1. ↑ The rankings of April 2018 were used for seeding for the final draw.
  2. ↑ From 1956 to 1960, Vietnam competed as the South Vietnam until 1975.
  3. ↑ South Yemen qualified in 1976, but this is not counted due to FIFA and AFC categorizing the participation as a distinct record from Yemen, who succeeded North Yemen after 1990.
