# Football at the 2017 SEA Games

The football tournament at the 2017 SEA Games was in Kuala Lumpur. In addition matches were played in Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam and Selayang.
Associations affiliated with FIFA might send teams to participate in the tournament. Men's teams were restricted to under-22 players (born on or after 1 January 1995) with a maximum of three overage players allowed, while there were no age restrictions on women's teams.
In the men's tournament, Thailand continued their title as a defending champion after they won their third straight and record-extending sixteenth SEA Games men's gold medal in the tournament by beating Malaysia with a score 1–0, while Indonesia got bronze for the fourth time after beating Myanmar with a score 3–1. Meanwhile, in the women's tournament, Vietnam pipped Thailand for their record-tying fifth SEA Games women's gold medal after they scored a 6–0 win over Malaysia in a round-robin format that subsequently gave them a superior goal difference. Myanmar defended the bronze after losing to the two favourites: Vietnam and Thailand.
