Nam Dinh in the group of death, CAHN reunites with Buriram in the Southeast Asian Cup C1

2025/26 Southeast Asian Cup draw results

Accordingly, Nam Dinh fell into a group with strong opponents Johor DT, Bangkok United and Lion City. Bangkok United defeated Nam Dinh in the Asian Cup C2 last season and Lion City is the current runner-up in this tournament.

But the most formidable name is certainly Johor DT, the team that is number 1 in Southeast Asia in terms of player value. With strong potential, Johor DT has always been an unstoppable force in Malaysian football over the past decade.

This team has a series of players who have played for many years in top European tournaments. Last season they had Jese Rodriguez, Enzo Lombardo, Roque Mesa... The Malaysian team promises to upgrade its force with a series of new stars to compete in the Asian Cup 1 next season.

Overall in Group B, the two tickets to the next round will be a competition between the quartet Nam Dinh, Johor DT, Bangkok United and Lion City. The remaining two opponents are Svay Rieng and the play-off winner, who are likely to be just "point miners".

Hanoi Police Club will soon reunite with Buriram

Meanwhile, Hanoi Police Club will soon meet Buriram again in the group stage. The Thai team faced Hanoi Police from the group stage to the final last season. Despite great efforts, the Vietnamese representative still could not maintain the advantage in the final match to step up to the championship.

When they meet again, they will have the opportunity to collect their debt from Buriram, but the task will not be easy because Buriram still maintains an extremely strong force and will be upgraded further this summer.

In Group A, BG Pathum is also a formidable name, promising to block CAHN's progress. The remaining 3 teams are Selangor, Tampines and the play-off winner.

In general, Nam Dinh and Hanoi Police will go through a very stressful campaign, significantly depleting their physical strength in the 2025/26 season. Because besides domestic and Southeast Asian tournaments, they also have to compete in the Asian playground.

Notably, in the draw ceremony for the Southeast Asian Cup C1, Indonesian representatives were absent. The reason is because they did not comply with AFF regulations. In the 2025/26 season, Indonesian teams will not participate and they will miss the opportunity to receive large sums of money from this playground.
