In the final of the ASEAN Cup 2024, the Vietnamese team will face rival Thailand.
The history of the Southeast Asian Championship has witnessed the dominance of the "War Elephants" in the cup matches. From 1996 to 2002, Thailand won the championship 3 times in 4 years.
From 2004 to 2012, Singapore flourished with 3/5 championships. But in the next period from 2014 to 2022, Thailand continued to dominate with 4/5 championships. According to statistics, Thailand is still the most successful and formidable team in the region.
Since the tournament switched to a home-and-away format in the final (2004 to 2022), 9 out of 10 times the champion team has had the advantage after the first leg (win or draw or more).
The only exception was in 2016, when Thailand lost 1-2 in the first leg against Indonesia but came back to win 2-0 in the second leg. In terms of winning percentage, Singapore is the most impressive team, winning 100% (4/4) of the final matches. The Vietnamese team has reached the final 4 times in history, winning 2 matches.
Thailand has been to the final 10 times, winning 7 matches and losing 3. Indonesia is the team with the worst luck, losing all 6 final matches they attended, an absolute losing rate of 100%.
