The format of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ Asian Qualifiers; 8 teams
who have advanced from the preliminary qualifiers will be divided
into 2 groups, 4 teams each. A home and away round robin league will
be played. This league will be played between February 9th and August

with the Timer strap during each match. We will also actively appeal
our partnership through Watch advertisements, Posters and Catalogs
to enliven the tournament until the final match in November.
This tournament is the qualifying tournament for the FIFA World Cup™
