ASEAN Competitions History
ASEAN Football Championship record
- Finals Records Only
This competition was formerly known as the Tiger Cup
Other recordsWon gold medals at the Asian Games football tournaments in 1966 and 1970. Qualified for Football at the 1972 Summer Olympics but lost in the Group (pool) play. Still South East Asia region's most successful team in Asian football but the glory days of the 1960s are long behind the now-struggling Asian nation. The lack of success must, at least in part, be attributed to the nation's long-running economic crisis. Recent Achievements
