Next are Malaysian Johor Darul Tazim, 10.83 million euros, Thai BG Pathum United, 9.5 million euros and Thai Port FC, 7.15 million euros.

Thailand dominate the list with four clubs, followed by Việt Nam with three. Malaysia have two and there is one from Singapore.

Surprisingly, no Indonesian side is listed although in the national level, the Indonesia team are valued at 25.63 million euros, higher than the three following teams combined -- Thailand (8.56 million euros), Việt Nam (6.8 million euros) and Malaysia (5.58 million euros).

The discrepancy is explained by the fact that most players of the Indonesian side are playing abroad. VNS
