Each side to receive a six-figure sum in the rebranded 12-team Asean Club C’ship
Football fans among South-east Asia's 600-million population can look forward to more matches involving the region's top club teams from the 2024-25 season.
The Asean Football Federation (AFF) on April 4 announced the launch of the multi-million dollar Asean Club Championship, the Shopee Cup, at the Raffles Singapore hotel.
The rebranded event will feature the league champions and some countries' cup winners.
Ten teams - two each from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam and one each from the Philippines and Singapore - will qualify directly for the tournament proper.
Four others the league champions of Brunei, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar - will compete for the remaining two group-stage spots, starting from July 17.
The 12 teams will then be drawn into two groups, where they will play home-and-away matches in a single round-robin format, with
the top two from each group progressing to the two-legged semi-finals. The final will also be a twolegged affair, with the champions crowned on May 21, 2025.
Scheduling details will be provided at the tournament draw in early May. Australia and Timor Leste are not participating in the upcoming season.
