The ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) has announced the groups for the 15th edition of the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup (AFF Cup), scheduled to start on November 23. This biennial regional football championship promises exciting matches, with teams playing on a home-or-away basis in a single round-robin format until December 7.
Singapore’s Challengers
Singapore finds itself grouped with tough competitors, including the defending champions, Thailand, and their longstanding regional rival, Malaysia. These matches are highly anticipated, given the historical football rivalries and the competitive spirit between these nations. Additionally, Singapore will face Cambodia and the winner of a play-off between Brunei and Timor Leste, which will be decided through matches on September 7 and September 14.
Singapore’s Recent Performance and Expectations
In the last edition of the tournament, Singapore did not advance beyond the group stage, setting a backdrop of redemption for this year’s competition. The team’s performance in the upcoming matches will be crucial as they seek to make a significant impact and progress further in the tournament.
