International football competition
Formato
Un total de cuarenta equipos (equipos clasificados del 1 al 34 en la lista de participantes de la AFC y seis ganadores de la primera ronda ) se dividieron en ocho grupos de cinco equipos para jugar partidos de ida y vuelta . Los ocho ganadores de grupo y los cuatro mejores segundos de grupo avanzaron a la tercera ronda de clasificación para la Copa Mundial de la FIFA, así como a la final de la Copa Asiática de la AFC 2019 .
Un total de 24 equipos eliminados de la clasificación para la Copa del Mundo en la segunda ronda compitieron en la tercera ronda de clasificación para la Copa Asiática de la AFC 2019 (que se separó de la tercera ronda de clasificación para la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2018), donde se dividieron en seis grupos de cuatro equipos y compitieron por los cupos restantes de la Copa Asiática de la AFC 2019. Los 24 equipos consistieron en los dieciséis equipos mejor clasificados eliminados en la segunda ronda, y los ocho equipos que avanzaron de la ronda de play-off de la clasificación para la Copa Asiática de la AFC 2019 que fueron disputados por los doce equipos restantes eliminados en la segunda ronda. [2]
Siembra
El sorteo de la segunda ronda se celebró el 14 de abril de 2015, a las 17:00 MST ( UTC+8 ), en el JW Marriott Hotel en Kuala Lumpur , Malasia. [3] [4]
La clasificación se basó en la Clasificación Mundial de la FIFA de abril de 2015 (que se muestra entre paréntesis a continuación). [5] Los 40 equipos fueron clasificados en cinco bombos: [6]
- El bombo 1 contenía los equipos clasificados del 1 al 8.
- El bombo 2 contenía los equipos clasificados entre el 9 y el 16.
- El bombo 3 contenía los equipos clasificados entre los puestos 17 y 24.
- El bombo 4 contenía los equipos clasificados entre el 25 y el 32.
- El bombo 5 contenía los equipos clasificados entre los puestos 33 y 40.
Cada grupo estaba formado por un equipo de cada uno de los cinco bombos. Los partidos de cada grupo se decidían automáticamente en función del bombo correspondiente a cada equipo.
Como el orden de clasificación se basó en la Clasificación FIFA más reciente antes del sorteo, difería del orden en la lista de participantes de la AFC , que se basó en la Clasificación Mundial de la FIFA de enero de 2015. Entre los seis ganadores de la primera ronda , tres fueron sembrados más arriba que el bombo 5 (India en el bombo 3, Timor-Leste y Bután en el bombo 4), sobre la base de los puntos de clasificación obtenidos en los partidos de la primera ronda, mientras que los otros tres (Yemen, Camboya y Chinese Taipei) fueron sembrados en el bombo 5.
