New FIFA Asean Cup to Feature All 11 Asean Nations
The FIFA ASEAN Cup will bring together national teams from all 11 ASEAN member states, enhancing regional football development during FIFA’s international match window.
- On Oct 26, FIFA announced the FIFA ASEAN Cup in Kuala Lumpur after signing an MOU with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations at the 47th ASEAN Summit, Gianni Infantino said.
- The tournament aims to boost football development across Southeast Asia and support national-team progress, with matches scheduled in the FIFA international match window to include players worldwide, and its format inspired by the Arab Cup and finalised with regional partners.
- Infantino highlighted South-east Asia's 700 million supporters and linked East Timor's admission as ASEAN's 11th member to football's symbolic number 11.
- FIFA said it will work with the Asian Football Confederation, the ASEAN Football Federation and relevant FIFA member associations to finalise the tournament format, while organisers have not clarified the new event's impact on the Asean Championship.
- Observers note the move could crowd the regional tournament calendar as Thailand, with seven titles, and Singapore, with four, highlight established rivalries in the Asean Championship.
