Vietnam national football team

The Vietnam national football team is the national team of Vietnam and is controlled by the Vietnam Football Federation . It has never made the World Cup.

When the nation was split into North Vietnam and South Vietnam, two national teams existed; the North Vietnamese team was not very active, playing almost exclusively other Communist countries between 1956 and 1966. The South Vietnamese team took part in the first two Asian Cups finals, finishing fourth both times. They played their last match in 1975, but the unified team only started playing in 1991.

The team has also never won the regional Tiger Cup, coming closest to victory in 1998 when Vietnam hosted the tournament. However, they suffered a 1-0 defeat in the final to Singapore in what is still one of the biggest upsets of the competition so far.
