The 2016 AFF Championship, sponsored by Suzuki and officially known as the AFF Suzuki Cup 2016,[1] was the 11th edition of the AFF Championship, the football championship of nations affiliated to the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF). The whole tournament ran from 19 November to 17 December 2016.[2] After the recognition by FIFA as a "category A" tournament, the 2016 edition of the tournament would grant international ranking points for each match.[3][4]
The group stages of the championships were held for the first time at Myanmar and the Philippines from 19 to 26 November 2016.[5]
