Vietnam Rises to Asia’s Top 15 in FIFA Rankings After Standstill

The Vietnamese national men’s football team currently has a cumulative score of 1,229.69, as reported by FIFA on Thursday. This includes 8.54 points earned from their recent victories over Hong Kong and Syria during FIFA Days in June.

Although the increased score has not been enough to improve Vietnam’s ranking of 95th place, it has narrowed the gap between them and Syria, who hold the 94th position with 1,246.75 points. This improvement has moved Vietnam up to the 15th place in Asia.

In Southeast Asia, Vietnam maintains its top spot, while Thailand remains in second place and has climbed one spot to reach the 113th position in the world rankings. The Philippines and Malaysia have also made improvements, ranking 135th and 137th respectively.

At the top of the FIFA rankings, Argentina, France, and Brazil continue to hold the top three positions. The next update to the rankings is expected on July 20.

Vietnam defeat Laos 2-0 in 2023 SE Asian Games men’s football

The Vietnamese, who won the gold medal in men’s football at the delayed 2021 SE Asian Games organized in Hanoi in May 2022, were expected to have an easy game, but they faced strong resistance from their Lao opponents and sometimes stayed in a deadlock at Prince Stadium in Phnom Penh. The junior Golden Stars got off to a great start in the second minute when Nguyen Van Tung headed the ball past Lao goalkeeper Solasak Thilavong into the net, following a good cross from Nguyen Thanh Nhan from the right side. With the early lead, coach Philippe Troussier’s team tried to reduce the match’s tempo, but moments of sloppy defending gave Laos some good chances. The remainder of the first half saw interesting back-and-forth attempts between the two teams.  Vietnam’s Nguyen Van Tung celebrates his opening goal in their match against Laos at the 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Phnom Penh, April 30, 2023.
