TIMETABLE 2022 AFF U-23 Cup doesn’t change after Myanmar National Team U-23 back off. As a result, the Southeast Asian Football Federation (AFF) was called unfair by a number of netizens.
For your information, the Myanmar U-23 National Team became the second country to decide to withdraw from the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup after Indonesian National Team U-23. Both the Myanmar U-23 and Indonesia national teams withdrew for the same reason, Covid-19.

As a result of the two countries above withdrawing, the participants in Group B of the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup are left with only two teams, namely the U-23 Malaysia and Laos. In the schedule released by AFF 30 minutes ago, the Malaysia vs Laos match was only held once on Friday, February 18, 2022.
The above conditions are practically detrimental to Malaysia and Laos if later they occupy the second position or caretaker. The team that loses in one meeting will certainly fail to qualify for the semifinals of the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup.
For your information, the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup is divided into three groups. Group A consists of hosts Cambodia, the Philippines, Timor Leste and Brunei Darussalam.
Meanwhile, Group B is occupied by Laos and Malaysia. For Group C, there are three traditional teams namely Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore.
