After a series of matches in March, the Vietnam team will be awarded 8.81 points on the rankings of the World Football Federation (FIFA).
Adding up the points from the ASEAN Cup 2024, the "Golden Star Warriors" are expected to increase by about 5 ranks, from 114th to 109th in the world.
Since the latest FIFA rankings update, the Vietnam team has had an additional 19.03 points.Nguyen Quang Hai and his teammates are expected to reach 1,183.82 points after the combination.
However, entering the top 100 is still a long way off for the Vietnamese team.Currently, the 100th place belongs to the team of Trinh and Tobago with 1,228.70 points.
In Southeast Asia alone, Thailand is the only team still firmly in the world's top 100.The representative of the Golden Temple country ranked 99th and was followed by Vietnam.
Meanwhile, the Indonesian team has risen to 125th place, ranking 3rd in the region.Although the FIFA rankings at this time do not affect the Vietnamese team, the promotion is a positive and noteworthy signal.
In June 2025, coach Kim Sang-sik will continue to call up the players to compete in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.In addition to the away match against Malaysia, as planned, the Vietnam team will have another friendly match.
