2019 AFF U-22 Youth Championship

The AFF U-22 Youth Championship is an international football competition contested by the national under-23 teams of the member nations of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF). The inaugural edition was held in 2005 as AFF U-23 Youth Championship.[1]

Background[]

In 2005, the first edition was held in Bangkok, Thailand as the AFF U-23 Youth Championship. A second edition of the tournament 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 that will be used for the tournament was still under renovation.[2][3] In 2019, the tournament then revived as the AFF U-22 Youth Championship with Phnom Penh, Cambodia as the host where it also serves as a preparatory tournament for the Southeast Asian Games and AFC U-23 Championship football tournament.[4][5]
