This is the 5th time that Vietnam was host the championship with all matches set to take place in the Mỹ Đình National Stadium, Hanoi, in Northern Vietnam. Previous editions hosted by Vietnam have all been played in Ho Chi Minh City in the South of the country.

Indonesia is the defending champion, however they were unsuccessful in defending their title when they lost 2-6 to Thailand and 0-3 to Myanmar, thereby stopping at the group stage.
