Indonesia Tops ASEAN Cup 2026 Team Valuations, Vietnam in Second Place

The ASEAN Cup 2026 is shaping up to be a competitive event, particularly with Indonesia leading the pack in team valuations. Indonesia's national team is valued at €9.43 million, significantly higher than Vietnam's €6.63 million. This valuation reflects Indonesia's strategic inclusion of twelve naturalized players, enhancing their competitive edge.

Among Indonesia's key players, Thom Haye stands out with a valuation of €900,000, followed by Justin Hubner at €1 million and Sandy Walsh at €600,000. This strong lineup has positioned Indonesia firmly at the top, despite the absence of Hubner due to club commitments in Europe.

Vietnam, while holding the second position, has seen a decline in its total team value due to the omission of several high-profile players from the squad. Coach Kim Sang-sik's decisions have resulted in a team that still boasts valuable players like Xuân Son (€550,000) and Quang Hải (€400,000), but lacks the depth seen in Indonesia's roster.

Thailand ranks third in team valuation at €5 million, facing a notable decrease in value due to the loss of star players like Chanathip and Supachai Jaided. Singapore and Malaysia follow, valued at €3.73 million and €3.08 million respectively, indicating the challenges Malaysia faces in assembling a competitive team.

As the tournament approaches, fans are eager to secure tickets for Vietnam's home matches, with the Vietnam Football Federation announcing ticket prices. The excitement surrounding the ASEAN Cup 2026 continues to build as teams finalize their rosters and prepare for the competition ahead.
