Vietnam at the FIFA Women's World Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vietnam has qualified to the FIFA Women's World Cup in one occasion, the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup which will also be the country's debut.[1]

Although Vietnam has been well-established in women's football among Asia's middle forces, it has missed out the golden chance during the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup at home, losing to Thailand 1–2 (which also helped Thailand to debut in the Women's World Cup).[2] After that missed opportunity, Vietnam entered its second playoff campaign in the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup playoffs, again grouped with Thailand and Chinese Taipei; this time, Vietnam triumphed in the playoffs to finally book a place in Australia/New Zealand 2023 edition, for the first time ever.[1]

After qualifying for its debut Women's World Cup in 2023, Vietnam was drawn into a "group of death" with both finalists from the previous tournament, the United States and the Netherlands. In February, Portugal joined the group by winning an inter-confederation play-off. Vietnam had no previous experience against any of its three opponents.
