The top teams from each group will then face each other in the semi-finals on 31 August with the winners to meet in the final which will be played on 2 September.
The AFC U-16 Championship qualifiers will be held in Hong Kong from 21-29 September with the top two teams progressing to the AFC U-16 Championship which will be held in Thailand from 2014.
