After Group A kicked off, ASEAN Cup 2026 continues to be exciting with the first two matches of Group B taking place today (July 25).
At 5:00 PM, Myanmar will face Malaysia. Although not calling up the strongest force, Malaysia is still rated higher thanks to the quality of the squad and international competition experience, especially youth with the goal of rejuvenating the force.
Meanwhile, Myanmar aims to create surprises to gain an early advantage in the semi-final ticket race. It is likely that they will still maintain a playing style rich in physical strength, speed and always be ready to play defensive counter-attack against stronger opponents.
At 8:00 PM, Thailand will meet Laos. The "War Elephant" enters the tournament with the goal of returning to the Southeast Asian championship after losing to Vietnam in the final last season. Against a lower-rated opponent, Thailand is expected to win all 3 points to have a favorable start.
However, Laos is not an easy opponent to be underestimated. In recent years, this team has made many changes in force, actively giving opportunities to young players and improving the ability to organize the playing style.
ASEAN Cup 2026 schedule today (July 25):
17:00: Myanmar vs Malaysia (Group B)
8:00 PM: Laos vs Thailand (Group B)
