Slightly behind, but with Nigerian Chukwuazu Basil one of the top 5 goalscorers in Myanmar's list of goalscorers, Zeyashwemye FC only finished the 2014 season in eighth place in the table. The now 31-year-old also took this as an opportunity to change clubs and instead hired the reigning champions Yadanarbon FC in the country's second largest city . With the team he played the first qualifying round match against Warriors FC from Singapore , which was just lost 5-6 on penalties, after which the team around Zaw Linn Tun took part in the group stage of the AFC Cup 2015 .

National team career

Zaw Linn Tun had his first international appearances during his time in the soccer team of the Myanmar Ministry of the Interior, during which time he also made most of his international appearances.
