At ASIAD 19, Southeast Asian football has 4 representatives including Olympic Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and Myanmar.

Vietnam Olympic stopped after the group stage of ASIAD 19.

Among these, Olympic Vietnam was the team eliminated the earliest, stopping right after the group stage.

Three other representatives, Olympic Thailand, Indonesia and Myanmar, have entered the round of 16.

Returning to the round of 16 of ASIAD 19, despite playing very resiliently and dragging the opponent into extra time, Olympic Indonesia still lost 0-2 to Uzbekistan.

Thailand Olympic team lost 0-2 to the overmatched opponent Iran. Myanmar Olympic team was even crushed by Japan 0-7.
