Initially, eight teams were set to participate in the football events - India, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, the U-21 youth teams of Uzbekistan and Malaysia, and the U-23 youth team of Malavan F.C. which is an Iranian football club that represented the country. However, Cameroon withdrew, and Ghana was decided to replace Cameroon.
