During the training period in Ho Chi Minh City, the Vietnam futsal team (ranked 39th in the world) will play a friendly match with a team from Oceania, Solomon, which has the same goal of participating in the 2024 Futsal World Cup. According to the plan, the Solomon futsal team (ranked 54th in the world) will have 2 friendly matches with the Vietnam futsal team on May 26 and 27 in Ho Chi Minh City.
The team from the Solomon Islands has participated in the futsal World Cup 4 times in a row (2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020), but Solomon futsal has never passed the group stage. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese futsal team has only participated in the world's highest level tournament twice (World Cup 2016, 2020) but has had good results in passing the group stage, in 2020 only stopping at the round of 16 against the Russian futsal team.
