AFC has clarified the criteria to determine the best runners-up team among all groups in the AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers. The criteria is part of the competitions regulations which were approved by the relevant AFC committees.
Comparing the runners-up teams over an equal number of matches is the key of identifying the best runners-up. In order to ensure equality when comparing the runners-up team of all the groups, the results of the matches between the runner-up team and the bottom-placed team (for Group C, D, E, I and J, which consist four teams) or two sides from the bottom (for Group A, G and H, which consists of five teams) will be considered null and void due to Group B and F having only three teams participating in the qualifiers.
The best runner-up team among those ranked second in the groups will be determined as follows:
1. Greater number of points obtained from group matches identified by AFC
2. Goal difference resulting from group matches identified by AFC
3. Greater number of goals scored in group matches identified by AFC
4. Fewer number of points calculated according to the number of yellow and red cards received by the team in the group matches identified by AFC
5. Drawing of lots.
