The knockout stage of the 2008 AFF Championship were the second and final stage of the 2008 AFF Championship, following the group stage. It took place from 16 to 28 December 2008. The top two teams from each group (four in total) advanced to the knockout stage to compete in a two-legged single-elimination tournament beginning with the semi-finals followed by the final. Each tie are played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. The away goals rule, extra time and penalty shoot-out are used to decide the winner if necessary.[citation needed]

In Group A, Singapore secured the group top spot as the group winner with 9 points after defeating Indonesia by 2–0 in their final match, while Indonesia finished as group runners-up with 6 points after losing 0–2 to Singapore in their last game.
