Qualification Competition
Main article: 2006 AFC U-17 Championship qualification

Laos won Group I in the qualification and were drawn to Group C in the finals, but were later disqualified for fielding over-aged players in a U-13 tournament in Qatar. Australia, which finished behind Laos in the qualification, did not take the slot, hence no replacement was made for Laos. Therefore, only fifteen teams competed in the final tournament.
