In this updated ranking, the Vietnam women's team was awarded 2.09 points thanks to 3 consecutive wins in the 2026 Asian qualifiers (and also the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers), including a 7-0 victory over Maldives, a 6-0 victory over the UAE and a 4-0 victory over Guam.
After the Vietnam women's team in Southeast Asia, the Philippines is ranked 39th in the world, up 2 places compared to the most recent rankings. Meanwhile, Thailand dropped 7 places to 53rd.
On the continental level, coach Mai Duc Chung and his team are ranked 6th in Asia, after the Japanese women's team (ranked 8th in the world), the DPRK (ranked 10th), Australia (ranked 15th), China (ranked 16) and South Korea (ranked 21st).
In the world leading group, Spain beat the US to maintain the No. 1 position. Following is Sweden - the team that has increased 3 places on the rankings with 4 wins at UEFA European Women's Championship Switzerland 2025. The England women's team also increased by 1 level to rise to 4th place, while Duc dropped to 5th place.
Maintaining the ranking reflects the stable performance of the Vietnam women's team in recent times. This is also an important stepping stone for the team towards the goal of winning the 2025 Southeast Asian Women's Football Championship, currently taking place in Hai Phong and Phu Tho.
