On June 8, Group B of the 2026 Southeast Asian U19 Championship will have the last two matches of the group stage. At 8:00 PM, U19 Singapore will meet U19 Brunei, while the focus is on the confrontation between U19 Thailand and U19 Malaysia.
After two legs, U19 Thailand and U19 Malaysia are having a great advantage in the race to win tickets to the semi-finals. Both teams have 6 absolute points.
In tonight's match, a draw will help U19 Thailand maintain the top spot in Group B, and U19 Malaysia may become the second team in the group with the best results to jointly win the right to the semi-finals.
In particular, U19 Vietnam certainly does not want this to happen. Coach Yutaka Ikeuchi's team just won second place in Group A after losing to U19 Indonesia. If U19 Malaysia gets more points against Thailand, the opportunity to compete for other second-placed teams will almost be closed.
However, U19 Thailand and U19 Malaysia are still expected to aim for an open match to affirm their position before the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, U19 Singapore and U19 Brunei will play for honor in the final match of the tournament.
U19 Southeast Asian match schedule on June 8:
8:00 PM: U19 Singapore vs U19 Brunei
8:00 PM: U19 Thailand vs U19 Malaysia
