Tuan Hai's solitary goal secured a 1-0 victory for Vietnam against Syria at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh).

Thus, Philippe Troussier's team won both friendly matches during the FIFA Days in June (following their earlier victory against Hong Kong (China)).

With their victory against Syria on the evening of June 20th, the Vietnamese national team gained 5.13 points on the FIFA rankings. It is expected that in the June 2023 FIFA rankings, the Vietnamese national team could move up at least one place in the world rankings.

After two matches, the Golden Star Warriors accumulated 8.53 points, raising their score to 1,238.22 compared to 1,230 in the previous month's rankings.

This is a very important step forward, especially as all the teams are aiming for the big tournaments ahead.

In terms of Asian rankings, the Vietnamese national team will move up one place from 16th to 15th. Therefore, Coach Troussier's team is guaranteed a place in the second seeded group for the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region.

This will be a big advantage for Quang Hai and his teammates as they will avoid strong opponents.

After two matches against Hong Kong (China) and Syria, the Vietnamese national team concluded their training camp, and the players returned to their clubs to prepare for Round 12 of the V-League 2023.
