Following Vietnam's 3-1 victory over Malaysia in the final group F match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers tonight, head coach Kim Sang-sik provided his post-match assessment. The win concludes this round of qualifications for the Vietnamese national team.

Looking ahead, the next national team training camp is tentatively scheduled for June. However, Vietnam is expected to forgo this camp, making way for the V-League 2025-2026 season. This decision aims to provide the team with a more extended and focused preparation period for the ASEAN Cup 2026, which is slated to take place from 24/7 to 26/8.
