SINGAPORE (AFP) - China were pitted with Palestine, Iraq and Singapore in the qualifying draw of 2007 Asian Cup.

The Asia's top tournament will be co-hosted by four Southeast Asian countries - Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, while China should have no problem progressing against minnows Palestine but Iraq and fast-improving Singapore could cause them a headache.

asian cup, china Defending champions Japan avoided South Korea and arch-rivals China on Wednesday, whom Japan beat 3-1 in a bad-tempered final in Beijing in 2004.

Also in Japan's group are India and Yemen, with the top two going through to the finals from July 9-27, 2007, which will be co-hosted by Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam.

The co-hosting is a decision the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) now regrets.

"It is proving very difficult for us. We have to have four organising committees, four media centres and there are also financial considerations," AFC president Mohammed Bin Hammam told AFP.

"It was my mistake. If we had a choice we definitely wouldn't do it again."

Japan and Saudi Arabia have both won the Asian Cup three times. The two met in the final in 2000, with Japan emerging victorious 1-0.

"We will field our first team for all the matches," said Kohzo Tashima, technical director of the Japan national team. "The group is not that easy and we have to make our qualification doubly sure."

Twenty-four Asian teams went into the hat for the draw with the qualifying games to be played on February 22, March 1, August 16, September 6, October 11 and November 15.

South Korea, led by Dick Advocaat, will take on Asia's number two team Iran in Group B. Both sides will also be in Germany at the World Cup this year. Taiwan and Syria round out their group.
