The 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification was a qualification process organized by the AFC to determine the participating teams for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup. The 2015 AFC Asian Cup, hosted by Australia, featured 16 teams.
In the initial scheme, ten places were determined by qualification matches, while six places were reserved for the following:
- Hosts (Australia)
- Top three finishers in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup (Japan, Australia, and South Korea)
- Winners of the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup (North Korea)
- Winners of the 2014 AFC Challenge Cup (Palestine)
As the host nation Australia also finished as runners-up in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup, the initial 6 automatic qualification spots were reduced to 5, with a total of 11 spots eventually determined by the qualification matches, in which 20 AFC members compete.[1]
