==Hosts and stadia==
The [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]] decided at its annual meeting, that [[Bangladesh]] would host the opening ceremony and that [[Nepal]] would host the final unless Bangladesh makes it into the last two, in which case it would be held in [[Dhaka]]<ref name="ref2">{{Cite web|url=http://english.people.com.cn/200511/30/eng20051130_224462.html|title=Opening ceremony of AFC Challenge Cup to be held in Bangladesh|accessdate=2005-11-30|publisher=Xinhua}}</ref><ref name="ref3">{{Cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/english/media/default.asp?mnsection=media§ion=newsDetails&newsID=4586|title=AFC Challenge Cup opening ceremony in Bangladesh|accessdate=2005-11-28|publisher=The AFC}}</ref>.

==Teams==
Some teams did not take part with their 'main' national squad, as noted below:
*India took their Under-20 team as preparation for the AFC Youth Championship they later hosted.
*Kyrgyzstan took part with a young team, drawn mostly from the youth squad which qualified for the AFC Youth Championship 2006.<ref name="ref9">{{Cite web|url=http://www.the-afc.com/english/competitions/challengeCup/news/default.asp?action=newsDetails&newsID=5151|title=Podkorytov is Kyrgyzstan acting coach|accessdate=2006-02-21|publisher=The AFC}}</ref>
