However, recently, OB Odense (Denmark) did not agree to let Thai right-back Nicholas Mickelson participate in this match. OB Odense did not even explain why they changed their mind. The match between the Southeast Asian All-Stars and Manchester United is a match outside of FIFA Days, so the teams do not have the right to demand players if the clubs of these players show uncooperative behavior.

Previously, Venezia Club (Italy) also refused to release Indonesian national team captain Jay Idzes to the ASEAN All Star team. Even though, before the Southeast Asian All Star team announced its lineup, Indonesian media predicted that Jay Idzes would be the captain of the ASEAN All Star team.

Indonesian newspaper Suara also commented: "The Southeast Asian star team needs players playing in Europe, in top national championships like Jay Idzes to narrow the gap in skill level with the stars playing for Manchester United."

With European clubs refusing to release their players, the Southeast Asian All-Stars team currently consists of only players currently playing in regional tournaments. Currently, 16 Southeast Asian players have confirmed their participation in the match, notably 3 Vietnamese players, including central defender Do Duy Manh, midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc and Nguyen Quang Hai. The 2 Thai players include goalkeeper Patiwat Khammai and midfielder Piradon Chamrasmi.

The squad includes two Indonesian players, full-back Asnawi Mangkualam and centre-back Muhammad Ferarri. In addition, the Southeast Asian All-Stars squad includes three Malaysian players, including goalkeeper Haziq Nadzli, centre-back Dominic Tan and striker Sergio Aguero.

Among them, the group of players from Indonesia and Thailand have faced the Vietnamese players in the most recent AFF Cups. Meanwhile, the Malaysian players will be the opponents of Duy Manh, Hoang Duc and Quang Hai in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, taking place next June. The Vietnamese and Malaysian players named in the ASEAN All Star squad will take the opportunity to "read" each other, before they return to their respective national teams to participate in the Asian Cup qualifiers.
