Three vie to replace Philippines as AFF Cup co-hosts - report

        A decision on who will join Myanmar in co-hosting the Nov. 19 - Dec. 17 tournament for the 11 countries in Southeast Asia will be made on March 12 in Vietnam.

        "Right now Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia are the countries who have stated their interest," AFF general secretary Azzuddin Ahmad was quoted as saying by Singapore's Today newspaper on Thursday.

        Singapore co-hosted the biennial event with Vietnam in 2014 but the National Stadium pitch in the city-state came under fire for its poor quality. Malaysia staged the tournament two years earlier along with Thailand, the current champions.
