According to the draw results, Group A at the Southeast Asian Football Championship includes Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Timor Leste.
In this group, the two most highly rated candidates are Thailand and Malaysia. In addition, Cambodia's call-up of 8 naturalized players also promises to bring a quality squad and more or less cause difficulties for opponents.
Notably, in the group, Thailand has won the most AFF Cup championships with 7 times and Singapore is second with 4 times. However, in recent years, the Lion Island team has been somewhat weaker because of the uneven quality of the squad.
In addition, at the AFF Cup 2024, the Timor Leste team chose Hang Day Stadium (Hanoi) as their home ground, because the country's stadiums do not guarantee quality.
