Vietnam team receives good news from FIFA after two consecutive victories

(Dan Tri) - Thanks to two victories over Nepal, the Vietnamese team has gained 13.7 points and jumped up the FIFA rankings. Meanwhile, Indonesia is in the opposite situation.

Last night (October 14), the Vietnamese team won 1-0 against Nepal in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers at Thong Nhat Stadium (HCMC). This was considered an unconvincing result, but nonetheless, coach Kim Sang Sik's team still completed the task of winning two consecutive victories against Nepal.

That helps the Vietnamese team continue to chase Malaysia on the ranking of Group F of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers with 3 points less. Besides, the "Golden Dragons" also significantly improved their ranking on the FIFA rankings.

According to Football-ranking (based on FIFA's calculation), the Vietnamese team was awarded 13.7 points after two wins against Nepal. That helped us move up 3 places, from 114th to 111th in the world. Even according to experts' predictions, the "Golden Star Warriors" can rise to 107th if they win against Laos in November. The gap between the Vietnamese team and the teams above is quite close.

Similarly, Malaysia also made a leap after two victories against Laos. They were awarded 13.3 points after these two matches. This helped the “Tigers” rise 5 places to 118th in the world. This is Malaysia’s highest ranking in many years.

Malaysia also took third place in the Southeast Asian region from Indonesia. After two consecutive losses to Saudi Arabia and Iraq, coach Patrick Kluivert's team was deducted 13.21 points and dropped 3 places to 122nd in the world.

Meanwhile, Thailand was awarded 13.17 points after two victories against Chinese Taipei. Thanks to that, the Golden Temple team increased 5 places to 96th in the world. They are also the only Southeast Asian team to make it into the world's top 100.

The most impressive riser is the Faroe Islands. The tiny team has added 37.9 points after two consecutive wins against Montenegro and the Czech Republic. This has helped them move up nine places to 127th in the world.
