1 The match was originally scheduled to be held on September 27, 2003, but was postponed to the following week as the North Korean team failed to arrive in Lebanon due to a traffic accident in Pyongyang.

2 The match was abandoned in the 60th minute with Iran leading 1-0 after North Korea walked off when Iranian fans threw firecrackers on the pitch and refused to continue. The match was awarded 3–0 to Iran, but Iran were also ordered to play their next home match in an official AFC or FIFA competition behind closed doors.[2]

3 The match was not played as North Korean immigration officials did not issue the Jordanian team visas, meaning they were refused entry into the country. The match was awarded 3–0 to Jordan, while North Korea were banned from AFC competitions for a year and from qualifying for the 2007 Asian Cup.[2]
