History

edit

In 2014, Toyota Motor wanted to develop in aspiring football players and football fans in the countries alongside the Mekong River: Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam, so Toyota debuted the competition called Mekong Club Championship. The first competition was held in 2014 at Bình Dương, Vietnam[5] with four countries participating. Becamex Bình Dương became the first club that won the championship. The second competition was held in 2015, with Thailand joining.[6]
