Vietnam national football team's schedule in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.

Vietnam's schedule for the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, coach Troussier and his team will meet the Philippines in the first match at 7:00 p.m. (local time) on November 16 at Rizal Memorial Stadium (Manila, Philippines).

At the 2026 World Cup, FIFA increased the number of teams participating in the final round to 48, of which Asia has 8.5 places. Vietnam is currently ranked 15th in Asia, so it does not have to compete in the first qualifying round.

In the second qualifying round, 36 teams are divided into 09 groups to play a double round-robin (home and away) from November 2023 to June 2024. The first and second-placed teams in each group will advance to the third round (a total of 18 teams), and also directly qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup finals. The remaining 18 teams will go straight to the third qualifying round (the final qualifying round) of the 2027 Asian Cup.

The 18 winners of the second round will be divided into three groups of six teams each, playing a home and away round-robin format. The top two teams in each group will qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals, while the third and fourth-placed teams (a total of six teams) will advance to the fourth round, also known as the Asian play-offs.

The six teams in the Asian play-off round are divided into two groups of three teams each, and will play each other in a round-robin format at the venue. The top two teams will qualify for the 2026 World Cup, while the second-placed teams from both groups will play a home-and-away knockout match to determine who will advance to the intercontinental play-off.

According to the AFC's recently announced schedule, Vietnam will play away in the opening match against the Philippines on November 16. Five days later, Troussier's team will return home to face Iraq, Vietnam's strongest opponent in the second qualifying round. The schedule for the following matches will continue to be updated by AFC in the near future.
