Notes

^ The Mongolia v Japan match was played in Chiba, Japan.^[4]
^ North Korea were originally scheduled to play host to Japan in Kim Il-sung Stadium. However, North Korea then decided against hosting it due to "a malignant infectious disease" spreading in Japan.^[7] Due to the time gap and North Korea's inability to provide an alternative venue, FIFA subsequently decided that the match shall neither be played nor rescheduled, and the matter will be decided by FIFA Disciplinary Committee.^[8] It was later announced that Japan would be awarded a 3–0 victory by forfeit.^[9]
