The twelve competing teams were: Afghanistan, Bahrain, China, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nepal, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and the UAE.[1]

Afghanistan defeated the United Arab Emirates in the final to win the tournament for the second time, following their joint victory with Oman in 2007.
