A total of 16 teams qualified to play in the final tournament, including Chinese Taipei who qualified automatically as hosts.[3]
The qualification process was divided into four zones, where the ASEAN Zone doubled as the 2017 AFF Futsal Championship, the East Zone and West Zone was played in Thailand, and the South Zone was merged to Central Zone as Nepal was the only team from South Zone.
Of the 47 AFC member associations, a total of 29 teams entered the competition. The 16 spots in the final tournament are distributed as follows:
- Host : 1 spot
- ASEAN Zone : 4 spots
- South & Central Zone : 4 spots (the two zones were merged since Nepal was the only team from South Zone)
- West Zone : 4 spots
- East Zone : 3 spots
As the final tournament hosts had not been announced at the time of the qualifying draw, the hosts Chinese Taipei were also included in the draw. Despite having automatically qualified for the final tournament, they may still decide to participate in qualification, and if they finish in one of the qualification spots, the next best team in their zone (East) advances to play-off.
