The qualification process for the 2004 AFC Asian Cup football competition began in March 2003. Out of the 45 AFC members, only Cambodia and the Philippines failed to enter for the tournament. Both China, the hosts and Japan, the reigning champions automatically qualified for the finals. The lowest ranked 20 teams were placed in 6 preliminary qualifying groups of 3 and one group of 2, with the group winners joining the remaining 21 teams in 7 groups of 4. The top two of each of these groups qualified for the finals in China.

1 The match was originally scheduled to be held on September 27, 2003, but was postponed to the following week as the North Korean team failed to arrive in Lebanon due to a traffic accident in Pyongyang.

2 The match was abandoned in the 60th minute with Iran leading 1-0 after North Korea walked off when Iranian fans threw firecrackers on the pitch and refused to continue. The match was awarded 3–0 to Iran, but Iran were also ordered to play their next home match in an official AFC or FIFA competition behind closed doors.{{cite web|url=http://japanese.joins.com/html/2003/1214/20031214164530600.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050502172951/http://japanese.joins.com/html/2003/1214/20031214164530600.html |archive-date=2 May 2005 |title=北朝鮮サッカー、1年間国際大会出場停止に |language=ja |trans-title=North Korean football team is suspended for international matches for a year |publisher=JoongAng Ilbo |date=14 December 2003 |access-date=11 March 2017 |url-status=dead }}

3 The match was not played as North Korean immigration officials did not issue the Jordanian team visas, meaning they were refused entry into the country. The match was awarded 3–0 to Jordan, while North Korea were banned from AFC competitions for a year and from qualifying for the 2007 Asian Cup.
