Vietnam was the first to be eliminated from the group stage of the 2023 Asian Cup.

Vietnam became the first team to be eliminated from the 2023 Asian Cup after losing 2-4 to Japan and 0-1 to Indonesia.

Coach Philippe Troussier and his team still have one final match against Iraq but no longer have a chance to compete for 3rd place.

Currently, Iraq is leading the group with 6 points. Japan and Indonesia have 3 points each. Vietnam is at the bottom of group D with 0 points.

In the final match, Japan and Indonesia will meet. If the two teams draw, they will have 4 points, while Vietnam can only get a maximum of 3 points.

In case the match between Japan and Indonesia ends in a decisive victory, and Vietnam wins against Iraq to get the same 3 points, coach Philippe Troussier and his team will still have to rank behind their opponents because they lose the head-to-head index.
