History
2014 team
The ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) announced in April 2014 that a friendly will be held involving the Indonesian national team and an ASEAN All-Stars team. It was meant as a charity event in aid of victims of Typhoon Haiyan which affected the Philippines in 2013. Victims of the eruption of Mount Kelud and Mount Sinabung in Indonesia were also reportedly beneficiaries as well.
The ASEAN team was coached by Malaysian coach K. Rajagopal. Thai coach Piyapong Pue-on was supposed to lead the team but was replaced by Rajagopal. Radojko Avramović, Winfried Schäfer, and Michael Weiß were also ASEAN head coach candidates. Alfred Riedl was Indonesia's coach. The charity match was held at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on 11 May 2014.

The friendly was billed as the Maybank Challenge Cup and the proceeds was pledged to go to the charity organisation, Al-Sultan Abdullah Foundation (YASA). The match was organised by ProEvents International. South Korean Kim Sang-sik was the team's head coach, while their captain was Ezequiel Agüero of Malaysia.
