The Toyota Mekong Club Championship was an ASEAN club competition for men's association football clubs.[1][2] Five teams entered as respective domestic league winners from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.[3][4]
History
[edit]In 2014, Toyota Motor wanted to develop in aspiring football players and football fans in the countries alongside the Mekong River: Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam, so Toyota debuted the competition called Mekong Club Championship. The first competition was held in 2014 at Bình Dương, Vietnam[5] with four countries participating. Becamex Bình Dương became the first club that won the championship. The second competition was held in 2015, with Thailand joining.[6]
