In the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026, Vietnam will take on Thailand today, September 29, 2026, at 19:30. This match marks the second round of the tournament, and both teams are eager to claim victory to enhance their chances of advancing to the finals.

Vietnam previously defeated Thailand to retain the ASEAN Cup title, and they will meet again under different circumstances. The teams are currently tied with three points each after their first matches, but Thailand leads the group due to a superior goal difference.

Vietnam's coach, Kim Sang-sik, has expressed confidence in his team's ability to perform well, despite the absence of key player Nguyen Xuan Son due to injury. This will require the team to adapt their strategies to maintain their offensive strength.

On the other hand, Thailand is bolstered by the return of midfielder Chanathip, who missed the previous ASEAN Cup. In their opening match of the FIFA ASEAN Cup, Thailand convincingly defeated Pakistan 4-0, showcasing their depth and tactical flexibility.

This match is critical, as only the group leader will advance to the finals, making the direct confrontation between Vietnam and Thailand a pivotal moment in the tournament.

In addition to the Vietnam vs Thailand match, an earlier game today features Pakistan facing the Philippines at 16:00.
