Unless of course neither team qualifies for one of three AFC berths. In that case whoever wins the AFC U-23 Asian Cup will be AFC 1, because winning the qualifying tournament is worth 5 seeding points, and all other AFC teams have less than 5 seeding points.
The AFC teams with seeding points are (the U-23 Asian Cup champions will earn 5 more points):
Japan - 19.8
Korea Republic - 19.6
Australia - 4.2
Iraq - 4.2 (Australia ranked ahead of Iraq due to 2020 results)
UAE - 0.6
China PR - 0.4
(Note: Saudi Arabia played in 2020, but earned 0 points)
If there are more than one AFC team with 0 seeding points, a drawing of lots should be used to decide the ranking according to the draw procedure, and thus which group they go to.
From the AFC article: "The top three teams from the AFC U23 Asian Cup Qatar 2024 will earn automatic tickets to the men's tournament but their groups will be decided based on their performance in the last five editions of the Olympics. "

1. If both Japan and Korea Republic finish in the AFC U-23 Asian Cup top three
If Korea Republic are AFC champions, they are AFC 1, Japan are AFC 2, and the other AFC team are AFC 3.
Otherwise, Japan are AFC 1, Korea Republic are AFC 2, and the other AFC team are AFC 3.
2. If one of Japan and Korea Republic finish in the AFC U-23 Asian Cup top three
That team, Japan or Korea Republic, are AFC 1.
If one of the other two teams are AFC champions, that team are AFC 2, and the other AFC team are AFC 3.
If none of the other two teams are AFC champions, the teams that are AFC 2 and AFC 3 will be determined by the seeding score as listed above.
If both teams have seeding score of 0, theoretically a drawing of lots should determine which group those two teams are allocated to.
(Note: I am assuming that they do not use the ranking of the AFC U-23 Asian Cup for tiebreaker purposes. Nor do I assume that Saudi Arabia, who played in 2020 but got 0 points, would be ranked 'higher" than teams who did not play in any of the recent 5 Olympics. But again, these are up to the interpretation of FIFA/AFC/IOC.)

According to the AFC website, the AFC-CAF Men's Olympic Football Tournament Paris 2024 Intercontinental Playoff will be played on 9 May at Centre National du Football, Clairefontaine-en-Yvelines, France.

Paris 2024 Olympics: Final hurdle for Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia
https://www.cafonline.com/womens-footba ... nd-zambia/
The final hurdle in the race towards the two places reserved for Africa in the Women’s Football Tournament of the Paris 2024 Olympic will have to be overcome starting on Friday, 05 April as Morocco, Zambia, Nigeria and South Africa commence the final round of qualifiers.
The Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola sees Zambia playing host to Morocco at 17h00 GMT. This will be the third north versus south meeting between the two sides from the opposite ends of the continent as the two sides met previously in a double-legged affair that went 6-2 in favour of the Zambians on both occasions.
However, a lot has changed in the Moroccan camp since the two defeats with the arrival of World Cup winning coach, Jorge Vilda who have become a more structured and formidable side under Vilda.
It will not be easy against the Zambians who tasted Olympics euphoria in Tokyo and will be hoping the likes of Barbra Banda and Racheal Kundananji will guide them to victory.
On the same day, an all-time African women’s football classic awaits in Abuja as the Moshood Abiola National Stadium plays host to Nigeria against South Africa.
With a record 11 TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations titles to their name, the Super Falcons are looking at adding a fourth Olympics qualification to their impressive record.
The Randy Waldrum led side will rely heavily on the talent of Chiamaka Nnadozie, Rasheedat Abijade and Asisat Oshoala amongst other hosts of Super Falcon stars.
In South Africa, the Nigerians face the reigning African champions who have recently established themselves as a powerhouse on the continent thanks to the tactical acumen of coach Desiree Ellis alongside talented Banyana Banyana players such as Thembi Kgatlana, Jermaine Seopesenwe, Refiloe Jane and Hildah Magaia.
