Dates | Qualifying and competition proper: 17 July 2024 – 21 May 2025 |
Teams | Competition proper: 12 Total (maximum): 14 (from 10 associations) |
The 2024–25 ASEAN Club Championship or simply 2024–25 ACC, officially 2024–25 Shopee Cup due to sponsorship reasons,[1] will be the third edition of the ASEAN Club Championship, an international football competition between domestic champion club sides affiliated with the member associations of the ASEAN Football Federation.[2][3] It will be the first ACC to commence since 2005.[4]
The revival of the ASEAN Club Championship was first proposed to the Asian Football Confederation in 2019,[5] but was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] The most recent unsuccessful attempt was for 2023–24.[7]
The tournament was launched on April 4, 2024 with games projected to be played from 17 July 2024 to 21 May 2025.[8] The previous tournament was officially cancelled due to the overlapping competition schedules (2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC second round and 2023 AFC Asian Cup).[9]
Association team allocation
Clubs from all 12 member football associations of the ASEAN Football Federation are eligible to enter the competition. Australia and Timor Leste did not enter any club.[8]

- Notes
- ^ Indonesia (IDN): Persija, the 2022–23 Liga 1 runners-up, qualified but declined to participate. Thus, their spot was given to Borneo, the 2023–24 Liga 1 regular series premiers.[13]
- ^ Malaysia (MAS): Johor Darul Ta'zim, the 2023 Malaysia Super League champions qualified but declined to participate.[8]
- ^ Singapore (SGP): Albirex Niigata (S), the 2023 Singapore Premier League champions, are a satellite team of a Japanese club and thus ineligible to represent Singapore in the ACC. As a result, Lion City Sailors, the 2023 Singapore Cup winners, qualified instead.[8]
