Vietnam football transitions from ASEAN Cup to 2027 AsianCup

Overview

Vietnam’s national football team is navigating a period of significant transition following their performance in the 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup. After a period of injury crises, the team successfully defended their ASEAN Cup title, becoming the first team to do so, following a 4-2 aggregate victory over Thailand. However, the team’s momentum shifted during the subsequent FIFA-organized ASEAN Cup, where they failed to reach the final, resulting in a fourth-place finish and a decline in FIFA rankings.

As the team prepares for the 2027 Asian Cup, Coach Kim Sang-sik faces ongoing personnel challenges. The squad is currently dealing with a shortage of reliable attacking options due to player injuries, fitness issues, and varying levels of form among key strikers. Specific concerns include the upcoming two-match suspension of player Dinh Bac during the 2027 Asian Cup group stages. While players such as Tai Loc and Xuan Son may improve their form, their availability for the crucial November training camp remains uncertain.

Coach Kim is also managing long-term injuries to naturalized players and evaluating the fitness of squad members from CAHN FC, who are experiencing fatigue from heavy domestic and continental schedules. The upcoming November FIFA Days international friendlies in Ninh Binh against Chinese Taipei and Kyrgyzstan are expected to be used to test new faces and tactical adjustments. The objective is to develop a cohesive playing style that adapts the team's system to maximize the strengths of available players as they transition toward competing against major Asian powers.
