Indonesian media warns of a concerning scenario for the Vietnam national team.

According to Indonesian media, the Vietnamese side is in danger of falling outside the FIFA Top 100 following their absence from the June 2026 FIFA Matchday fixtures.

Indonesian media has recently paid close attention to the Vietnam national team's situation on the FIFA rankings. According to an assessment by SuperBall, Coach Kim Sang Sik's team is facing the threat of being pushed out of the top 100 strongest national teams in the world after the June 2026 FIFA Matchday period.

Currently, Vietnam holds 1,225.68 points and sits in 99th place on the FIFA rankings. However, this position is considered precarious because the gap with the chasing teams behind is very narrow. While many national sides are actively playing international friendlies to earn points, Vietnam has no matches scheduled during the FIFA Days in June.

According to SuperBall, the decision to skip the FIFA Matchday was made by the Vietnam Football Federation to allow the team to focus on more important objectives, especially the 2026 ASEAN Cup. Nevertheless, this choice also exposes the "Golden Star Warriors" to a major risk on the world rankings, as they have no chance to increase their points.

Meanwhile, direct rivals are continuously narrowing the gap. A notable example is Tajikistan, as the Central Asian team recently defeated India 3-1 in a series of international friendlies. This result helped Tajikistan significantly improve their FIFA points and climb three spots on the rankings, adding further pressure on Vietnam.

Indonesian media believes the risk of Vietnam slipping down the rankings is very real if the teams behind continue to achieve favorable results in the near future. Several Asian sides are making full use of the FIFA Matchday to accumulate points, making the race for the FIFA Top 100 more intense than ever. Even minor changes could cause a significant shift in Vietnam's position.

Notably, SuperBall argues that at this point, Vietnam can only wait for beneficial outcomes from the remaining international matches in June. Among these, teams like Indonesia could indirectly affect the ranking dynamics if they prevent Vietnam's point rivals from gaining points. However, the ability to control their own fate is no longer in the hands of Coach Kim Sang Sik's squad, and the threat of dropping out of the FIFA Top 100 is more evident than ever.
