The Philippines Football Federation (PFF) have been given until Saturday, 11 March 2016, to present their contract with the stadium board to the AFF Council who will have their meeting a day later in Da Nang, Vietnam.
This was the decision of the AFF Competitions Committee which met today in Phnom Penh, Cambodia following the appeal from Mariano Araneta, the PFF President.
After much deliberation by members of the AFF Competitions Committee, it was agreed to give the PFF a final extension until 5pm on 11 March 2016 to present the relevant official contract.
Failing which the hosting job will automatically go to Malaysia as Vietnam and Singapore have opted to give priority to the former considering that they were hosts at the last edition in 2014.
