Meanwhile, another tournament is slated for January 2017 to replace the ASEAN Futsal Championship 2016, which was cancelled as no suitable host country was found.
The ASEAN Futsal Championship 2016 was initially scheduled to take place from October 31 to November 8 in Thailand. However, due to the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Thailand decided to cancel all entertainment activities during one year to mourn the beloved King. 
After Thailand’s withdrawal, AFF suggested Indonesia and Singapore to host, but both countries refused for different reasons. 
In September, Vietnam’s futsal team made history by earning a ticket to the round of 16 at the FIFA Futsal World Cup Colombia 2016 in its first-time appearance at the event and won the Fair Play award.
