AFF Suzuki Cup 2021: Fixtures, results, tables and top scorers

The much awaited AFF Suzuki Cup is here once again with the best teams in Southeast Asia battling it out for the honour of being the top team in the region. 

Vietnam as the reigning champions from the 2018 edition will be one of the favourites again with Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore all looking to dethrone the two-time champions.

Initially scheduled to be held in 2020, the tournament was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and will see a new format this time around with a centralised location being chosen to house all 26 matches that will be played in the competition, with Singapore being the host country.

The National Stadium with 55,000 seating capacity will be the primary stadium that is likely to host the Group A matches, having first been featured in the Suzuki Cup back in 2014 which was coincidentally the last time Singapore was chosen as the host country for one group in a previous iteration of the competition format.

Bishan StadiumActiveSG

Likely to be the venue for Group B matches, this 6,200-odd seater Bishan Stadium is located centrally in Singapore having previously been used during the 2015 Southeast Asian Games as well as being the training ground for the likes of Juventus and Atletico Madrid for the International Champions Cup.
