INTERNATIONAL: The Myanmar Football Federation has informed the ASEAN Football Federation yesterday that they have withdrawn from the AFF U23 Championship 2022 due to COVID-19 complications.

As part of the health and safety measures for the ongoing tournament, the Myanmar U23 team has undergone regular tests before and after arriving in Cambodia.

Following confirmation of positive tests among a number of players, a decision has been taken to withdraw the team from the tournament to help minimise the risk of further infection. Players and staff identified to be close contacts have also been placed in isolation for observation.

Myanmar was originally scheduled to kick off their campaign in Group B on 15 February against Malaysia. A revised match schedule will be announced shortly.

Myanmar being the second team to pull out of the tournament, Indonesia was the first team due to Covid19.

Cambodia has started their campaign in great form winning over Brunei 6-0. They now are preparing to play tomorrow night against The Philippines who had a 2-2 draw against Timor Leste.
