The 2012 AFF Championship qualification tournament was the qualification process for the 2012 AFF Championship, the ninth edition of the ASEAN Football Championship. It was held in Yangon, Myanmar from 5 to 13 October 2012,[1] and involved the five lower ranked teams in Southeast Asia. The format was a single round-robin tournament with the top two teams qualifying for the tournament proper.
Brunei made a comeback, after being re-instated towards the end of May 2011 by FIFA, following their suspension since September 2009.[2] While the Philippines were one of the six seeded teams and gained direct entry to the main tournament,[1][3] after reaching the semi-finals for the first time in the 2010 edition. They replaced Myanmar, who finished bottom of their group in 2010 and will be entering the qualification phase for the first time since 1998.
