The first-ever FIFA ASEAN Cup™ is presented by Aspetar, reaffirming its leadership in sports medicine and its dedication to improving player welfare, health and performance across Asia and the global football community.

Taking place in Indonesia and Hong Kong, China, and set to conclude on 5 October, the ongoing FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026™ features 14 national teams from Southeast Asia and the wider region. It represents an important step in FIFA’s efforts to foster football development and strengthen regional competition.

Aspetar is proud to support FIFA’s vision for this groundbreaking tournament and to play its part in championing sporting excellence and the continued growth of the game across the region and beyond.

This partnership builds on FIFA’s strong relationship with Aspetar, which dates all the way back to 2009, when the hospital was accredited as a FIFA Medical Centre of Excellence. Over the years, this long-standing collaboration has grown through a wide range of sporting, medical and educational initiatives, including major-event support, knowledge exchange, research and capacity-building activities aimed at boosting player health, performance and safety in football.

For more than two decades, Aspetar has worked with leading football organisations – including national associations and clubs – and elite athletes, contributing to the advancement of evidence-based medical practices that help players perform at their best while reducing injury risks. Through this collaboration with FIFA, Aspetar will extend its expertise to support the next generation of Asian football talent competing on one of the region’s newest and most prestigious international stages.

Aspetar has a proven track record of delivering outstanding sports medicine services at major international events, including as the Official Medical Provider for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. Through its support for competitions such as the FIFA Intercontinental Cup™ and the FIFA U-17 World Cup™, with Qatar having staged the final phase of the former for the last two years and been appointed to host the latter from 2025 to 2029, the hospital continues to set the benchmark for athlete care and medical excellence.
