The AFF Championship (known formally as the ASEAN Football Federation Championship) is a

biennial international association football competition, contested by the men's national teams of the

members of ASEAN Football Federation (AFF), determining the sub-continental champion of Southeast

Asia.

It was founded as the Tiger Cup after Singapore-based Asia Pacific Breweries, makers of Tiger Beer,

sponsored the competition from its inauguration in 1996 until the 2004 edition. After Asia Pacific

Breweries withdrew as title sponsors, the competition was known as the AFF Championship for

the 2007 edition. From 2008, Japanese auto-company Suzuki bought the naming rights for the

competition, and the competition has therefore been named the AFF Suzuki Cup for sponsorship reasons.

The 12 AFF Championship tournaments have been won by four national teams; Thailand have won

five titles, Singapore has four titles, Vietnam has two titles and Malaysia with one title.

The most recent championship in 2018 was won by Vietnam, who beat Malaysia 3-2 on aggregate in

the final. At the end of 26 matches and almost six weeks of football, Vietnam were crowned 2018 AFF

Suzuki Cup champions. This national team also contributed four outstanding players to the Best XI of the

tournament, namely goal keeper Dang Van Lam, central defender Tran Dinh Trong, left back Doan Van

Hau and central midfield Nguyen Quang Hai, who also gained Most Valuable Player title of the

tournament.
