The Vietnamese team had a smooth start in Group F - the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup. Coach Kim Sang-sik's team won a resounding 5-0 victory over Laos. This result will help Tien Linh and his teammates gain more confidence to continue conquering the challenges ahead, with the goal of winning a ticket to the final round of Asia's biggest tournament.
Vietnam team plays away

The match against Malaysia is very important for the Vietnamese team. In Group F, Malaysia is the direct competitor for the ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup finals with the "golden star team". Malaysia is much stronger than Laos. Therefore, coach Kim Sang-sik's team is expected to face great difficulties when facing the team nicknamed "the tigers".
When facing Malaysia in June, the Vietnamese team still does not have its strongest squad. Naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son is expected to take 9 months to recover from the injury he suffered at the 2024 AFF Cup. Therefore, coach Kim Sang-sik still has to rely on domestic strikers.

Malaysia (beat Nepal 2-0) ranked second in the group with 3 points and a goal difference of +2. The Vietnamese team needs a good result against Malaysia to maintain its advantage in the rankings.
The match will be broadcast on FPT Play and expected on VTV2.
Vietnam team must win the group
The final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup has 6 groups (4 teams each), playing a round-robin (home and away) to calculate points and rank. Only the top team in each group will qualify for the final round.
