FIFA Ranking January 2020: Vietnam Men team stay Top of ASEAN
The FIFA Ranking hasn’t had much change in the first month of 2020. The ranking of Vietnam Men Team still is the 94th in the world, 14th in Asia, and Top 1 in ASEAN.
This is a reasonable thing because according to the statistics of FIFA, it was few matches having been played on the international front so far this year.
Indeed, with just 15 friendlies taking place since the last Ranking update in December – including two games in late 2019 – the top 20 remain unchanged, with Belgium, France, and Brazil still making up the top three.
Some minor movement in the top 50 sees Wales (23rd, down 1) and Paraguay (41st, down 1) each fall down a spot, while Ghana (46th, up 1) rise ever so slightly.
Palestine (103rd, up 3) is the first biggest climbers of 2020. The AFC side’s success in January’s Bangabandhu Cup sees them leapfrog Estonia, Trinidad and Tobago, Mozambique and Kenya as they secured the biggest move by points and rank.
In Asia, the top 5 still are Japan (28th), Iran (33rd), Korea (40th), Australia (42nd), and Qatar (55th).
The next matches of the FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualifier in March will make the huge movement in the next Ranking which is updated on 9th Apr 2020. Vietnam team will have 2 matches at this time. First is the friendly match with Kyrgyzstan (96th) on 26th Mar. Second is the match against Malaysia (154th) in Malaysia on 31st Mar at the World Cup 2022 Qualifier (Group G).
