Background

In 2005, the first edition was held in Bangkok, Thailand as the AFF U-23 Youth Championship. A second edition of the tournament was set to take place in Palembang, Indonesia between 16 and 26 July 2011 but was cancelled due to the main stadium of Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium, which was to be used for the tournament, still being under renovation.[2][3] In 2019, the tournament was then revived as the AFF U-22 Youth Championship with Phnom Penh, Cambodia as the host where it also served as a preparatory tournament for the Southeast Asian Games and AFC U-23 Asian Cup football tournament.[4][5]

Notes

  1. Timor-Leste won by walkover as Laos were unable to play after several of their players tested positive for COVID-19 before the match. However both teams were declared as bronze medalists following a proposal by Timor Leste.
  2. There was no designated fourth placing team after Laos was elevated as third placers with Timor-Leste. There were five other competing national teams for this tournament.
