Qualifying Rounds
Israel qualified as hosts
Korea Republic qualified as holders
India qualified by default (India were to play with 
Iran, 
Pakistan and a couple of other teams that were to be played either on home and away basis, or a special tournament, but all the teams involved refused to play India due to political reasons at that time and thus India were awarded a place in the Asia Cup Finals).
