Tuan Hai's only goal helped Vietnam win 1-0 against Syria at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh).
Thus, coach Philippe Troussier's team won both friendly matches during the FIFA Days in June (before that was the victory over Hong Kong (China)).
With the victory over Syria on the evening of June 20, the Vietnamese team was awarded 5.13 points in the FIFA rankings. It is expected that in the FIFA rankings in June 2023, the Vietnamese team will likely rise at least one place in the world rankings.
After two matches, the Golden Star Warriors accumulated 8.53 points, raising their score to 1,238.22 compared to 1,230 in last month's rankings.
This is a very important promotion in the context that the teams are all looking forward to the big tournaments ahead.
In terms of Asia, the Vietnamese team will move up one place from 16th to 15th. Thus, coach Troussier and his team are sure to be in the second seed group of the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia.
This will be a big advantage for Quang Hai and his teammates when they avoid strong opponents.
After two matches against Hong Kong (China) and Syria, the Vietnamese team ended their training session, and the players returned to their clubs to prepare for round 12 of V-League 2023.
