Athletistic will broadcast a live text online: Football. Friendly match. Vietnam – Russia. Live broadcast
The Vietnamese national team is ranked 115th in the FIFA rankings; it has never captured stars from the sky and has not achieved any success in international tournaments. It has never played in the World Championships, only 3 participations in the Asian Cup and the maximum for Vietnam – quarter-finals in 2007 and 2019. In 2023, in the last tournament, the Vietnamese did not leave the group, losing to Indonesia, Iraq and Japan. In addition, the South Vietnamese national team participated in two tournaments in the 20th century. There are no famous players or even foreign players from other leagues in the national team; all players play in the Vietnamese championship.
The Russian national team, after the weak Kenya and Cuba, with whom it played at the end of last year, played a match against the strongest opponent after Serbia’s suspension in March 2024 and won a crushing 4:0 victory. But again, it was impossible to find strong opponents and this summer the Russians played against the Belarusians, also beating them 4:0. Russia beat Cuba 8:0 and this is the biggest victory since the suspension. But this match took place at home, on a good pitch and in comfortable weather conditions. The match against Vietnam is being played away, Karpin has already complained on the pitch and the weather is not the most familiar. Therefore, even if a defeat is expected, it is unlikely that it will be possible to score 8 goals at once.
