The 2022 Asean Football Championship Draw Places Defending Champions Thailand in Group A with Indonesia and Other Teams

The draw for the 2022 Asean Football Federation Championship, held on August 30, has placed defending champions Thailand in Group A alongside last year's finalists Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and the winner of a playoff between Brunei and Timor-Leste. Group B will feature top seeds Vietnam, the 2008 and 2018 champions, along with Malaysia, the 2010 winners, four-time champions Singapore, Myanmar, and Laos. This tournament marks a return to the home-and-away format for the first time since 2018.
Group Stage Matchups and Format

Group matches are scheduled to commence on December 23, with the competition reverting to its traditional home-and-away structure after previous editions were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, notably the 2020 edition which was held in Singapore in January 2022. Each group consists of five teams, and the top two finishers from both Group A and Group B will progress to the semi-finals.
Knockout Stage Structure

The semi-finals of the 2022 Asean Football Championship will be contested over two legs, mirroring the format of previous tournaments. This will lead into the final, which is scheduled to be played across two legs on January 12 and January 15, determining the 2022 Asean Football Federation Championship titleholder.
Historical Context of Teams

The championship features several nations with a history of success. Thailand are the current titleholders, having defeated Indonesia 6-2 on aggregate in January to secure their sixth championship. Vietnam has claimed the title twice, in 2008 and 2018, while Malaysia emerged victorious in 2010. Singapore, a consistent participant, has won the competition four times.
