PRAYER evil netizens, hope Laos withdraw from 2022 AFF U-23 Cup. The application appears so Malaysian National Team U-23 was shifted to Group C to join three strong teams namely, Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore.
If you join Thailand and Vietnam, automatically Malaysia’s chances of reaching the semifinals of the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup are smaller than before. “Hopefully Laos withdraws so that Malaysia joins Group C,” wrote the account @liaauliaa2.
For your information, initially the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup was attended by 11 teams. In the results of the draw, Group A was occupied by the hosts Cambodia, the Philippines, Brunei Darussalam and Timor Leste.
Then, Group B contains Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Laos. Furthermore, Group C or the closing group is filled with three traditional Southeast Asian teams, namely Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore.
However, the bad news came on Friday, February 11, 2022 in the morning WIB. The U-23 Indonesian National Team has decided to withdraw from the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup due to the Covid-19 storm.
As a result, the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup Group B contestants are left with only three teams, namely Malaysia, Myanmar and Laos. This condition is considered still ideal, considering it is exactly the same as Group C which also contains three teams.
However, on Tuesday 15 February 2022, Myanmar decided to withdraw from the 2022 AFF Cup for the same reason as the U-23 Indonesian national team, namely Covid-19. As a result, Group B of the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup leaves only two teams, namely Malaysia and Laos.
