Format
editThe ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024 will follow the 2018 and 2022 format. In the current format, the nine highest ranked teams would automatically qualify, with the 10th and 11th ranked teams playing a two-legged qualifier. The 10 teams would be split in two groups of five and play a round robin system with each team playing two home and two away fixtures. The top two sides of each group will advance to the knockout stages consisting of two-legged semi-finals and finals.[2]
Qualification
editNine teams automatically qualified to the ASEAN Championship final tournament. They were separated in respective pots, based on performance of the last two editions.
Brunei and East Timor, who were two lowest-performing teams, will play a two-legged qualifier to determine the 10th and final qualifier.
Australia, a member since 2013, is yet to debut at the tournament.
