Indonesian newspaper draws up a scenario to help the home team surpass Vietnam on the FIFA rankings

According to Football Ranking's calculations, Indonesia has increased by 7 places on the FIFA rankings after the FIFA Days in March 2025 (from 130th to 123rd in the world ).

Vietnam team is above Indonesia in FIFA rankings.

Despite strong progress, Indonesia is still 14 places behind the Vietnamese team (109th in the world) on the FIFA rankings.

But journalist Ramdani Bur believes that Indonesia can completely surpass the team next June.

According to journalist Ramdani Bur, this will happen when the Indonesian team achieves positive results in two matches in the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. On the contrary, the Vietnamese team lost to Malaysia in the qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup.

“If we win against both China and Japan, we will get an additional 37.01 points, bringing the total score to 1,179.84.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese team will have to visit Malaysia on June 10 in the Asian Cup qualifiers. At that time, the Vietnamese team will most likely lose on Malaysia's field.

If they fail, Vietnam will lose 13.94 points and only have 1,169.88 points left. Thus, they will be surpassed by Indonesia on the FIFA rankings," journalist Ramdani Bur analyzed.

But this is a relatively unlikely scenario because at this time the Vietnamese team is rated higher than Malaysia.

Therefore, it will not be easy for the "Tigers" to get 3 points against coach Kim Sang-sik's team, despite playing at home.

Meanwhile, Indonesia is being underestimated compared to both China and Japan. Therefore, it is very difficult for them to defeat both of these opponents.
