According to statistics, the two teams have met 7 times in official tournaments in the region and continent. The Vietnamese futsal team won 3 matches, Indonesia won 2 matches, and the two teams drew 2 times. These numbers clearly reflect the balance in the head-to-head relationship, especially in the Asian arena.
In the early stages, Indonesia once dominated. At the 2018 AFC Futsal Championship, the archipelago team defeated Vietnam with a score of 3-1. At the 2024 tournament, Indonesia continued to win 2-0, showing their ability to exploit well the times when Vietnam has not achieved high stability in terms of force and tactics.
However, the situation began to change in recent years. Since 2017, the Vietnamese futsal team has shown clear progress when winning 3 victories and 2 draws in confrontations with Indonesia. Notably, many positive results come from important tournaments such as the SEA Games or the Asian Futsal Championship finals, where bravery and tactical discipline are put first.
The 1-0 victory of the Vietnamese futsal team against Indonesia at SEA Games 2025 is clear evidence of the shift in head-to-head balance. That match took place tightly, with few goals but showed the effectiveness in the defense organization and control of the red shirt team's game.
Overall, the head-to-head history between the two teams is still balanced, but recent results are leaning towards the Vietnamese futsal team. This is considered an important psychological foundation for coach Diego Giustozzi's team to enter the 2026 AFC Futsal Championship quarter-finals with confidence, while Indonesia is still a potentially challenging opponent thanks to their energetic and determined playing style.
