Coach Kim Sang Sik exclaimed one thing when Vietnam's national team topped the FIFA rankings.

Coach Kim Sang Sik expressed his delight as Vietnam's national team became the biggest climber on the FIFA rankings after March.

After the FIFA Days matches in March, Vietnam's national team achieved positive results by successively defeating Malaysia and Bangladesh. Additionally, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) awarded Vietnam a 3-0 victory in the match against Malaysia in June 2025 due to the opponent using an ineligible player. These factors played a crucial role in helping the team improve its points on the world rankings.

Thanks precisely to that impressive series of achievements, Vietnam gained an additional 36.17 points on the latest FIFA rankings, thereby climbing 9 places and rising to the 99th position globally. This is a significant step forward, bringing the team back into the top 100 after an absence.

This achievement quickly attracted international media attention, particularly from Korean press. Many newspapers praised the clear progress of Vietnam's national team under the guidance of Coach Kim Sang Sik.

News1 noted that Vietnam's rise of 9 places, from position 108 to 99, was the strongest advancement among national teams on the April FIFA rankings. According to the newspaper's assessment, this breakthrough reflects a stable and effective development process since Coach Kim Sang Sik took charge of the team.

Speaking to Korean media, Coach Kim Sang Sik expressed gratitude for the results achieved. He affirmed this was the outcome of collective efforts from players to the coaching staff, and viewed it as motivation for the entire team to continue striving in the coming period.

The Korean tactician also emphasized he would not be satisfied with what has been achieved. Instead, he and the team aim for higher goals, prepare more thoroughly, and strive wholeheartedly to help Vietnamese football continue sustainable development in the future.

Good news keeps coming, Kim Sang Sik will laugh heartily at the bounce in Vietnam's national team.

The FIFA rankings undergo a historic change, Vietnam's national team advances remarkably fast.
