After defeating Vietnam in the 2025 Asian Cup qualifiers, the Malaysian national football team not only climbed to the top of Group F of the group, but is also expected to rise 5 levels in the FIFA world rankings!

After beating Vietnam in the Asian Cup qualifiers, the Malaysian national team is expected to rise to 126th in the latest world rankings

After beating Vietnam 4-0, the Malaysian national football team can gain 13.99 points, adding the original points to a total of 1135.54 points. However, the latest world rankings of the Malaysian national football team will still have to be determined by the relevant responsible units of FIFA.

Vietnam is expected to fall four notches to No. 113. If the above calculations are consistent with FIFA, the world No. 126 will be the best ranking of the Malaysian national football team in 19 years. In 2006, the Malaysian national football team was ranked 124th. For Vietnam, who were originally ranked 109th, their latest world ranking is expected to drop four places to 113th.

In the second round of Group F of the Asian Cup qualifiers on the 10th, the Malaysian national football team scored by two newly introduced naturalized players Figueiredo and Holgado, and Wang Corbin and Cools then added the icing on the cake, and defeated the "Golden Star" Vietnam team 4-0, ending the decline of the opponent who had not won for 10 years in one fell swoop.
