The reason is that the match between Vietnam and Malaysia on June 10 corresponds to the matches in the qualifying rounds of major tournaments of AFC and FIFA World Cup. Therefore, the accumulated points are calculated according to the coefficient I = 25. This is the score for the knockout matches in the qualifying rounds of major tournaments.
In the latest FIFA rankings, Vietnam ranked 109th in the world with 1,183.83 points. Meanwhile, Malaysia ranked 131st with 1,121.55 points. In case of victory, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will be awarded 11.01 points to bring the total score to 1,194.84.
This number of points is nearly 4 times higher than the total points accumulated from the 2 final matches of the ASEAN Cup 2024 with Thailand. Specifically, the Vietnamese team only received a total of 5.56 points because the tournament is outside the official FIFA competition system.
If the match with Malaysia ends in a draw, Vietnam will lose 1.49 points. If they lose to the Golden Tigers, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will lose 13.99 points, bringing the total score down to 1,169.84. This will significantly affect Vietnam's position on the FIFA rankings in the upcoming period.
In addition to the professional and psychological significance of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, the match against Malaysia is also an opportunity for the Vietnamese team to improve its FIFA ranking. Therefore, a victory will not only help coach Kim Sang-sik and his team maintain their hope of advancing, but also bring great value in terms of ranking and image of Vietnamese football in the international arena.
