[edit]On 29 July 2019, the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) received official protest from two participating teams regarding the eligibility of an East Timorese player in the ongoing tournament.[4][5] The protest was subsequently admitted upon compliance of the procedural requirements set out in the 2019 Tournament Regulations with the AFF began to carrying out the necessary investigation and have requested the parties involved to collaborate to establish the facts.[5][6] On 3 August, the AFF further stated that the relevant documents requested from the player and his team have been delivered and acknowledged by the AFF secretariat. In accordance to the tournament regulations, the conclusion of the investigation will be decided by the AFF Disciplinary and Ethics Committee.[7] On 4 August, the AFF announced their findings that the said player is deemed to be eligible to participate in the tournament in accordance with Article 5.1 as stated in the tournament regulations and ruled the protest lodged by two countries as unfounded and dismissed it accordingly.[8][9]
On 9 August, the final match between Thailand and Malaysia was marred with ugly incident that resulted in Thai player Kongpop Sroirak and Malaysian player Khairil Zain being both issued a red card.[2][10]
