The United Arab Emirates and Palestine were left out of the first draw on July 5, despite there being no discrepancies in the entries submitted by the two countries.
Their inclusion in Wednesday's draw will raise the number of participating countries to 26. Four groups will have four teams each while two groups will have five teams each.
The participating nations can each field only three players above the age of 23. Group matches in football are scheduled to begin a few days ahead of the official start of the Games, which will run from Aug. 18 to Sept. 2.
