Australia captain Lucas Neill has missed out on being named Asian player of the year after he was omitted from the three-man shortlist, organisers said on Friday.
The former English Premier League defender and Iran's Mohsen Bengar, who were both nominated earlier, were left off the final list which now consists of South Korea's Lee Keun-Ho, Iranian veteran Ali Karimi and Zheng Zhi of China.
Lee will be viewed as favourite for the annual honour after he was named man of the match when Ulsan Hyundai clinched the AFC Champions League title unbeaten earlier this month.
Karimi won the award in 2004 and China's Zheng has helped Guangzhou Evergrande clinch the Chinese league and cup double under World Cup-winning coach Marcello Lippi.
The winner will be announced at the Asian Football Confederation's awards ceremony on Thursday.
Only players present at the ceremony are eligible to collect the award.
