After the victory over Hong Kong (China), the Vietnamese team has improved in the FIFA rankings, rising from 95th to 94th place.
Vietnam team had an impressive match against Syria
Next, Coach Troussier's students continued to defeat the team with a higher FIFA ranking, Syria (ranked 90th in the world).
The victory against the West Asian team brought the red team 5.13 points.
But this score not only did not help the Vietnamese team improve its position on the FIFA rankings, but also dropped to 95th place.
Meanwhile, after losing to Vietnam, Syria lost 5.13 points and dropped 4 places to 94th in the world.
The reason why "The Golden Star Warriors" fell in rank is because the teams behind them have made very strong progress.
Specifically, Benin was added 7.64 points to rise to 92nd place in the world. Equatorial Guinea was added 19.05 points and jumped from 94th to 91st place.
The Armenian team even got 28.52 points and jumped from 97th to 90th place.
Despite not advancing after two wins on FIFA Day in June 2023, the Vietnamese team still surpassed Palestine to take 15th place in Asia.
In the friendly matches in June, Palestine drew with Indonesia and lost to China, losing 6.17 points, from 93rd in the world to 96th.
With this position, coach Troussier and his team are sure to be in the second seed group at the draw ceremony for the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
This helps Quang Hai and his teammates avoid strong opponents like Uzbekistan, China, Jordan or Bahrain.
Related information, after FIFA Day in June 2023, football teams in Southeast Asia also had significant changes in the FIFA rankings.
Specifically, Thailand rose 1 place to 113th in the world, the Philippines rose 1 place to 135th, Malaysia rose 2 places to 136th, and Indonesia fell 1 place to 150th.
