Vietnam team met Indonesia in more than 2

Entered the 3rd qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup

This is considered the most important goal of the Vietnamese team in the new year. With Iraq, Indonesia and the Philippines in Group D, the goal of participating in the third qualifying round of the World Cup in Asia for the second consecutive time is considered feasible for the team led by coach Philippe Troussier.

In a journey of 6 matches in total, the Vietnamese team has gone through 2 matches. The Golden Star team currently has 3 points (won the Philippines and lost to Iraq). This result is acceptable and there are still many things to look forward to. In particular, the 2 consecutive matches against Indonesia within 5 days (March 21 and 26) are the hinge, deciding the next round for both teams.

In the most recent confrontation, the Indonesian team beat Vietnam 1-0. With what they showed at the 2023 Asian Cup finals, coach Shin Tae-yong and his team will be a big challenge for the Vietnamese team's ambition to pass the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.

After two matches against Indonesia, the Vietnamese team still has two final matches. Coach Troussier and his team will face the Philippines (June 6) and Iraq (June 11).

Currently, Iraq is leading Group D with 6 points, Vietnam is second with 3 points, Philippines and Indonesia are 3rd and 4th respectively with 1 point each.

Olympic Dream

The 2024 AFC U23 Championship Finals are also the qualifiers for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Accordingly, the top 3 teams at the 2024 AFC U23 Championship Finals will qualify directly for the Olympics. Meanwhile, the 4th-placed team will play an intercontinental play-off against a representative from Africa.

Minh Trong will be one of the pillars of U23 Vietnam.

The Olympic arena is considered a dream for Vietnamese football. Although difficult, the U23 Vietnam team still has hope. Under the guidance of coach Troussier, the young players are showing remarkable progress. Playing a lot in the club as well as the Vietnam national team helps young players mature quickly and accumulate a lot of experience. Nguyen Thai Son, Vo Minh Trong, Phan Tuan Tai, Nguyen Dinh Bac... will be the hopes of U23 Vietnam. This is the basis for fans to believe that U23 Vietnam will have a positive performance at the 2024 U23 Asian finals.

U23 Vietnam is in a group that is considered quite suitable. The "white witch" team will face Uzbekistan, Kuwait and Malaysia in group D. The goal of passing the group stage is also completely within the ability of U23 Vietnam. Mr. Troussier's team may compete with Uzbekistan for the top spot in the group.

The AFC U23 Championship will take place from April 15 to May 3, 2024, in Qatar.

AFF Cup 2024

It is expected that from November 23 to December 21, 2024, the Vietnamese team will compete in the AFF Cup 2024. This is a tournament in Southeast Asia, but it is a good opportunity for the Vietnamese team to demonstrate their mettle. Especially in the context that the Vietnamese team has lost the No. 1 position in Southeast Asia on the FIFA rankings to Thailand.

From 2024, the Southeast Asian football championship will be called ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup, instead of AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup as before.


In addition, the Vietnamese team failed to win the AFF Cup in two consecutive years (Thailand won the cup). In the most recent tournament, coach Park Hang-seo’s team could not defeat the Thais in the final. Therefore, Vietnamese fans are eagerly waiting for their favorite team to “get revenge” against their regional rivals.

The last time the Vietnamese team won the AFF Cup was in 2018, under the leadership of coach Park Hang-seo.

Won the ticket to the World Cup for the third consecutive time

The 2024 AFC Futsal Championship Finals will take place in Thailand from April 17 to 28, with 16 teams participating. Accordingly, the four teams that make it to the semi-finals of the Asian tournament will also have tickets to the 2024 AFC Futsal World Cup in Uzbekistan in September 2024.

The Vietnamese team is in Group A with hosts Thailand, Myanmar and China. The goal that coach Diego Giustozzi and his team are aiming for is to reach the semi-finals to participate in the Futsal World Cup for the third consecutive time.
