At the end of the first stage, a comparison was made between the third placed teams from the seven groups of six teams. The one best third-placed teams advanced to the 2010 AFC U-16 Championship.

Because three group has one team fewer than the others, following the withdrawal of Sri Lanka, Mongolia and Maldives, matches against the sixth-placed team in each group are not included in this ranking. As a result, four matches played by each team will count for the purposes of the third-placed table.

Group	Team	Pld	W	D	L	GF	GA	GD	Pts
D	Oman	4	2	1	1	6	3	+3	7
A	Saudi Arabia	4	2	1	1	3	1	+2	7
