Vietnam will face host Malaysia at 8 pm on June 10 at Malaysia's Bukit Jalil Stadium, a venue often dubbed the “cauldron” of Southeast Asian football due to its intense atmosphere.

Maung Maung Lwin's goal late in the second half was enough to bring victory to coach Kim Sang-sik's team and put another dent in an already miserable season for one of the English Premier League's former Big Six teams.

This is more than just a football match, it is a celebration of leadership, regional pride, and unity through sport, according to the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF).

“We have been preparing carefully for the match in both term of physique and mentality," said Linh at a press conference on March 24.

Following the Vietnamese national team's historic triumph at the ASEAN Cup 2024, head coach Kim Sang-sik faces two significant upcoming challenges.

Only 70 tickets were allowed to be sold to Vietnamese supporters for the first match between the Vietnam and Singapore national football teams at the 6,000-seat Jalan Besar Stadium, but all 70 supporters saw Vietnam take the advantage in the ASEAN Cup semis with a 2-0 win.

The contract signing ceremony and announcement of the new head coach of the national football team and U23 team will take place on May 6, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has announced.

Major media of the Republic of Korea has reported Kim Sang-sik will take over as head coach of the Vietnam national football team, with the contract being announced soon.
