The Vietnam national football team is the national team of Vietnam and is controlled by the Vietnam Football Federation.
When Vietnam was split into North Vietnam and South Vietnam, two national teams existed; the North Vietnamese team was not very active, playing almost exclusively against other Communist countries between 1956 and 1966 whilst the South Vietnamese team took part in the first two Asian Cups finals, finishing fourth both times. South Vietnam played their last match in 1975, but the unified Vietnam national team only started playing in 1991.
Vietnam has yet to win the regional Tiger Cup, coming closest to victory in 1998 when hosting the tournament. However, they suffered a 1-0 defeat in the final to Singapore.
The biggest achievements of the team were qualifying for the final round of the 2008 Summer Olympics football qualification rounds and the second round (quarter final) of the Asian Cup 2007.
