Vietnam team closes in on Thailand on FIFA rankings

HOÀNG HUÊ |

Vietnam team can be promoted after winning the ASEAN Cup 2024.

The Vietnamese team won the 2024 ASEAN Cup championship with an unbeaten record (7 wins, 1 draw).

Coach Kim Sang-sik's team defeated Laos (4-1), Indonesia (1-0), drew with the Philippines (1-1), and defeated Myanmar (5-0) in the group stage; defeated Singapore in the two semi-final matches (2-0 and 3-1); and defeated Thailand in both final matches (2-1 and 3-2).

With this achievement, it is expected that the "Golden Star Warriors" will increase 2 places in the world football federation (FIFA) rankings. The Vietnamese team can be added 10.22 points to increase from 114th to 112th in the next ranking review in February 2025.

Meanwhile, Thailand is expected to drop one place to 98 due to a deduction of 6.05 points. The "War Elephants" won Timor Leste (10-0), Malaysia (1-0), Singapore (4-2), Cambodia (3-2) in turn; lost 1-2 then won 3-1 against the Philippines in the two semi-finals; lost to Vietnam in the two finals (1-2 and 2-3).

In the latest rankings, Thailand is ranked 97th, while Vietnam is ranked 114th. It is likely that Vietnam will narrow the gap with its regional rivals.

In addition to Vietnam and Thailand, the rankings of Southeast Asian teams are also expected to fluctuate after the 2024 ASEAN Cup.

According to the usual scoring method, it is likely that Indonesia will drop 3 places to 130, the Philippines will increase 3 places to 147, and Malaysia will maintain its position at 132. The teams behind will maintain their positions as Singapore (161), Myanmar (169), Cambodia (180), Brunei (184), Laos (186) and Timor Leste (197).
