Teams It is likely that the Philippines team was the full national team, but it is unknown. the Malaysian Tigers was a developmental team of young players, functioning as a national B team. The precise designation of the Thai team is unknown, but it was not the full Thailand national team (which was at the Merdeka Tournament in Kuala Lumpur). The Singapore team was composed of Malaysia Cup and intermediate squad players. However, the Singapore 2–0 Thailand match is listed by FIFA as a full international. No other match from this tournament is listed as such.
