After a hiatus of two decades, Southeast Asia's leading football clubs are gearing up to compete in the highly anticipated ASEAN Club Championship, set to kick off on Aug. 21. The tournament, which originally debuted in 2003, is making a comeback after being cancelled following its second edition due to various challenges.
The ASEAN Football Federation first proposed a restart of the championship in 2019, and despite initial setbacks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the event is finally set to return this year. The competition will run until mid-2025, culminating in a two-legged final on May 14 and 21.
