The SEA Games 2025 is set to take place in Thailand from 9 until 20 December 2025, but the men’s soccer tournament will kick off earlier, running from 3 until 18 December 2025. Soccer remains one of the most anticipated events in the regional competition, drawing massive attention from fans across Southeast Asia.
Cambodia Withdraws, Group Distribution Adjusted
Originally, 10 national teams were expected to compete in the men’s soccer category. However, the lineup has changed after Cambodia officially withdrew from the tournament.
Cambodia was initially placed in Group A, but their departure left the group with only Thailand and Timor-Leste. As a result, Singapore, previously assigned to Group C, has been moved into Group A to balance the groups.
Updated Men’s Soccer Groups for SEA Games 2025
- Group A: Thailand, Timor-Leste, Singapore
- Group B: Vietnam, Malaysia, Laos
- Group C: Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines
These groups promise several exciting matchups, especially with traditional soccer powerhouses like Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia in action.
