The teams that reached the semi-final qualified for the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship in Argentina.
All Matches in Shahid Shiroudi Stadium, Tehran.
The original draw had Kuwait in the same group as Iraq. Kuwait protested that they did not want to be in Iraq's group due to political tensions, so the AFC did a re-draw to separate Iraq and Kuwait.[1]
