Background

Based on previous records, Indonesia had reached the AFF Championship final four times (2000, 2002, 2004 and 2010), finishing runners-up in all attempts.{{cite web|url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com/id/features/indonesia-di-piala-aff-sang-raja-runner-yang-terus-berjalan-mundur|title=Indonesia di Piala AFF: Sang Raja Runner-Up yang Terus Berjalan Mundur|trans-title=Indonesia in the AFF Cup: The King of Runner-Up who Continues to Run Backwards|author=Renalto Setiawan|language=Indonesian|publisher=FourFourTwo|date=18 November 2016|access-date=15 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181115113424/https://www.fourfourtwo.com/id/features/indonesia-di-piala-aff-sang-raja-runner-yang-terus-berjalan-mundur|archive-date=15 November 2018|url-status=dead}} Thailand had reached the AFF Championship final seven times (1996, 2000, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2012 and 2014) and had won the tournament four times (1996, 2000, 2002 and 2014).{{cite web|url=https://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/542986/aff-suzuki-cup-past-winners/|title=AFF Suzuki Cup – Past Winners|publisher=Fox Sports Asia|date=4 November 2016|access-date=15 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181115112810/https://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/542986/aff-suzuki-cup-past-winners/|archive-date=15 November 2018|url-status=dead}} The two sides last met on 7 December 2010 in the group stage of the 2010 AFF Championship. Indonesia, who began the 2016 AFF Championship as an underdog, was ranked 179 in the FIFA World Rankings and tenth among AFF teams while Thailand, who entered the tournament as a clear favorite, was ranked 146 overall and fourth among AFF teams. Thailand entered the 2016 AFF Championship as four-time ASEAN champions. Thailand was first crowned champions of ASEAN in the 1996 that was held in Singapore with a final score of 1–0 against Malaysia. In the 2000, Thailand had taken home the title through a 4–1 victory against Indonesia. In the 2002, Thailand won against Indonesia through a penalty shoot-out. In the 2007 and 2008, Thailand reached the final to meet Singapore and Vietnam but however lost in the final games. In the 2012, Thailand again failed after losing by 2–3 on aggregate against Singapore. But in the 2014, Thailand managed to return by winning 4–3 on aggregate against Malaysia. The 2016 final was Indonesia's fifth consecutive time contesting an AFF Championship final, after losing four times against Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.

Up until the beginning of the tournament, Indonesia had just set everything in control after a series of internal upheavals within the PSSI, which cost the country's qualification attempts for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and 2019 AFC Asian Cup.{{Cite journal |doi = 10.1016/j.sbspro.2014.02.450|title = Analyzing the Conflict between Football Organizations in Indonesia|year = 2014|last1 = Ariyanto|first1 = Khrisna|journal = Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences|volume = 115|pages = 430–435|doi-access = free}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.copa90.com/en/shows/documentaries/2016/5/a-year-without-the-beautiful-game-indonesia-struggle-for-football|title = A year without the Beautiful Game: Indonesia struggle for Football}} Having just ended the crisis, Indonesia's perpetration was in total disarray and thus they had to take back their old boss, Alfred Riedl, to manage the team and fix the messes.{{Cite web|url=https://en.tempo.co/read/779345/alfred-riedl-begins-scouting-mission-for-indonesian-national-team|title=Alfred Riedl Begins Scouting Mission for Indonesian National Team |website=En.tempo.co|access-date=19 April 2022}} In comparison, Thailand's perpetration was largely smooth and problem-free. Therefore, not many people even imagined Indonesia could progress to the semi-finals, leave alone winning the tournament.

Route to the final

Both Indonesia and Thailand were drawn into Group A of the 2016 AFF Championship, along with powerhouse sides Philippines and Singapore. After winning all three group matches, Thailand finished first in the group. Indonesia finished second in the group to progress to the knockout phase of the tournament. Thailand's first match victory was against Indonesia with a score of 4–2. From there, they continue the path by beating both Singapore and the Philippines by 1–0. Thailand progressed to the semi-finals to face Group B runner-up and subsequent host of Myanmar. In the first-leg in Yangon, Thailand won 2–0 before winning the second-leg in Bangkok by 4–0 with a total aggregate of 6–0. Indonesia's lose their first match against Thailand before drawing 2–2 against the host Philippines. In the third match against Singapore, they won 2–1 before progressing to the semi-finals to face Group B winner of Vietnam. In the first-leg in Bogor, Indonesia won 2–1 before drawing 2–2 in the extra time in the second-leg in Hanoi with a total aggregate of 4–3.
