Thailand is gearing up to bring home the Asean Football Federation Championship trophy for the sixth time, as it qualifies for the 13th tournament.
The championship is being hosted by Singapore from December 5 to New Year’s Day.
The AFF Championship has been held every other year since 1996, except for 2020, which had to be postponed to 2021 due to the ongoing pandemic.
Thailand won five of the past 12 tournaments, followed by Singapore (four titles), Vietnam (two titles) and Malaysia (one title). The Kingdom’s football team also won the runners up trophy three times. Thailand qualified for the finals eight out of 12 times.
