Vietnam Tel had a historic draw with a score of 1-1 against Japan in Saitama on March 29

Plus, having won the Chinese team 3-1 on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Vietnamese team has won 4 points after 10 matches. Vietnam Tel has become the Southeast Asian team to win 1 victory in the 3rd qualifying round of the World Cup in Asia.

Recently, the World Football Federation (FIFA) has announced the rankings of the national teams in March, after the end of the last international series.

In two international matches in March in the framework of the third qualifying round of the World Cup 2022, Vietnam Tel lost 0-1 to Oman, so 10.54 points were deducted. After that, “Golden Star Warriors” held a 1-1 draw with Japan and received an additional 7.37 points.

On average, the Vietnamese team was deducted 3.17 points. However, because the two teams ranked above us, including Lebanon and the Republic of the Congo, did not get good results, so the Vietnamese team still moved up two places, from 98th position to 96th in the world. The rise to the 96th position in the world on the FIFA rankings helps the Vietnamese team to rank 16th in Asia and lead in Southeast Asia.

Vietnam Tel increased 2 places to rank 96th in the world on the latest FIFA rankings announced on the evening of March 31.

Notably, Thailand is still behind Vietnam in Southeast Asia and “War Elephants” is currently ranked 111th in the world with 1167.68 points on the FIFA rankings, despite the fact that the country’s representative The Golden Temple has added 7.54 points compared to last month when they just won both Nepal (1-0) and Suriname (2-0) in 2 friendlies.

Meanwhile, despite being held to a draw by Vietnam, the Japanese team still got 3.63 points after the last two matches in the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in March. As a result, coach Hajime Moriyasu’s army currently has 1553.44 points to overcome Iran, rise to No. 1 in Asia and ranked 22 in the world.

After a series of international matches during the FIFA Days in March, many of the top teams in the world also changed their rankings such as Belgium, which lost the No. 1 position to Brazil. Currently Brazil has 1832.69 points, while Belgium has 1827 points. The remaining 3 teams in the top 5 of FIFA include France, Argentina and England.

Although Italy has just lost to North Macedonia 0-1 at home in Palermo and did not win tickets to the 2022 World Cup, the blue team is still ranked 6th in the world.
