In 2025, the Vietnamese team played a total of 8 international matches, won 7 and lost 1. Of which, the team won two victories against Thailand in the first and second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup final (2-1, 3-2).
At the same time, there was a series of positive results in the 2027 Asian Cup Qualifiers: winning Laos 5-0 and 2-0, winning Nepal 3-1 and 1-0 and losing to Malaysia 0-4 in the match after which FIFA concluded that the opposing team used 7 ineligible naturalized players. Most likely, the Vietnam team will be awarded a 3-0 win against Malaysia according to AFC regulations when the team used ineligible players.
Before entering the Asian Qualifiers, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team also started with a 2-1 victory over Cambodia in a friendly match at Binh Duong Stadium.
The Vietnamese team also received good news when it moved up 1 place to 110th in the world on FIFA's November 2025 rankings.
Notably, this ranking improved even though the accumulated points from the 2-0 win over Laos have not been updated and will be added by FIFA to the next ranking announcement.
After completing their national duties, the players will return to their home clubs. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his coaching staff will join the U22 Vietnam team in Vung Tau on November 23 to prepare for the 33rd SEA Games.
The Vietnam national team will return on FIFA Days in 2026, first in March 2026 to play the final match against Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup Qualifiers.
The year 2025 has ended with many proud milestones for the Vietnamese team. With careful preparation and determination, the team will continue to aim for important goals in 2026.
