The Vietnam national football team is gearing up for a crucial match against Cambodia in the final group stage of the ASEAN Cup 2026. The match is scheduled to take place at 20:00 on August 7, 2026. Following a convincing 3-0 victory over Indonesia, Vietnam enters this match with a favorable position, needing only a draw to guarantee advancement to the semifinals.

Head coach Kim Sang-sik has a strategic approach in mind, balancing the need for a strong performance while also managing player fatigue ahead of the knockout stages. In the previous match against Indonesia, several key players, including Xuân Son and Hoàng Hên, were rested, allowing other team members like Hai Long and Tài Lộc to showcase their skills. This depth in the squad is a significant advantage for Vietnam.

Historically, Vietnam has dominated their recent encounters with Cambodia, winning all five of their last meetings and scoring 16 goals while conceding only 2. This record adds to the confidence of the Vietnamese team as they prepare for the match.

On the other hand, Cambodia is coming off a 3-0 win against Timor-Leste but has struggled in previous matches, including a 1-5 loss to Indonesia and a 1-2 defeat against Singapore. Their ability to withstand pressure will be critical as they face a determined Vietnamese side.

With the stakes high, Vietnam aims to maintain their top position in Group A, and a victory against Cambodia would secure that goal. Fans can catch the live broadcast of the match on VTV6 and FPT Play.
