ASEAN Football Championship

The ASEAN Football Championship (AFF Championship), is a biennial international association football competition organized by the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF), contested by the national teams 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. The competition was renamed as the ASEAN Football Championship for the 2007 edition as a result of a termination of the sponsorship deal. From 2008, Japanese auto-company Suzuki bought the naming rights for the competition, and the competition has been renamed The AFF Suzuki Cup.

Since it was inaugurated, the cup has been won three times by both Singapore and Thailand while Vietnam and Malaysia has won the cup once each. Indonesia has never won the competition but managed to be runner-up more than other countries, which is 4 times a runner-up..
