But does the region really need both? On the first episode of The International Window, Scott McIntyre is joined by Keeshanan Sundaresan and Dez Corkhill to examine where the traditional ASEAN Championship and the new FIFA ASEAN Cup fit into an increasingly crowded international calendar. Why do these tournaments still matter so much to the region? Should Southeast Asia's leading nations be looking beyond their own neighbourhood for stronger competition? And if two tournaments are going to coexist, do they need fundamentally different purposes? The panel also discusses the growing use of naturalised and heritage players across Southeast Asia, Indonesia's evolution ahead of the Asian Cup, the prospects of Vietnam and Thailand, the challenges facing the region's developing nations and why stronger domestic leagues ultimately remain essential to genuine progress. The International Window is The Asian Game's monthly podcast dedicated to national team football across Asia - looking beyond the results to the bigger issues shaping the international game.
