[3] However the tournament was postponed and rescheduled at least twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the tournament was first rescheduled to run from 11 April to 8 May 2021 [4] and the schedule later pushed backed further to 5 December 2021 to 1 January 2022. [5] Singapore later was chosen for host this tournament in a centralized venue. [6]

Vietnam were the defending champions, but were eliminated by Thailand in the semi-finals. Thailand won the tournament by a 6–2 victory in the two-legged final against Indonesia to secure their sixth title. [7] [8]

Format

The AFF Suzuki Cup 2020 was hosted in a centralized venue due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in Southeast Asia. On 28 September 2021, it was announced that Singapore would host the tournament. [6] Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam also expressed interest in hosting the tournament. [9] [10] [11] [12]

In the group stage of the competition proper, ten teams were drawn in two groups of five with single round-robin format. The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals.

The organizers preferred to hold the tournament under its original format, which featured two-leg home-and-away games. [4] Away goals rule wouldn't be applied.
