The AFC 2011 Asian Cup, the biggest international tournament within Asia, finished its qualifying on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 with sixteen countries making the finals. The draw for the tournament finals will be on April 23, 2010. The teams will be drawn into four groups from which there will eventually be a knockout stage that’s similar to the World Cup format.

There aren’t too many surprises as the top teams in the region have qualified including South Korea, Australia, and defending champions Iraq (in 2007).
