Associations affiliated with FIFA might send teams to participate in the tournament. Men's teams were restricted to under-22 players (born on or after 1 January 1995) with a maximum of three overage players allowed, while there were no age restrictions on women's teams.

In the men's tournament, Thailand continued their title as a defending champion after they won their sixteenth SEA Games men's gold medal in the tournament by beating Malaysia with a score 1–0,[2] while Indonesia got bronze for the fourth time after beating Myanmar with a score 3–1.[3] Meanwhile, in the women's tournament, Vietnam pipped Thailand for their fifth SEA Games women's gold medal after they scored a 6–0 win over Malaysia in a round-robin format that subsequently gave them a superior goal difference.[4][5] Myanmar defended the bronze after losing to the two favourites: Vietnam and Thailand.[6]
