Indonesia, as the host, will have a spot in the finals, the third team in ASEAN to compete in the tournament. Myanmar competed in the U20 World Cup in 2015 and Vietnam in 2017.
8 countries were vying for hosting rights, including 2 ASEAN rivals: Indonesia and the Thailand-Myanmar Coalition. After Thailand’s withdrawal, Indonesia became the only ASEAN candidate. Bahrain and Saudi Arabia-UAE Coalition also withdrew.
Some doubted Indonesia's chances after a violent match between Indonesia and Malaysia marred the first round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
