The Vietnamese men's national football team will have two more international friendly matches with Lebanon and India at Thien Truong Stadium in the northern province of Nam Dinh from October 9-15 within FIFA Days this year as part of the preparation for the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024, according to the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF).

The Lebanese and Indian teams boast levels similar to Vietnam, which will make it easier for head coach Kim Sang Sik to make good preparations before entering the race at the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024.
In the new rankings announced by FIFA, Lebanon jumped two places to 114th in the world, two places above Vietnam. Meanwhile, India dropped two places, ranking 126th.
Most recently, the Vietnamese and Lebanese teams faced each other twice during the Asian Cup 2011 qualifiers, where Vietnam won 3-1 in the first leg at My Dinh Stadium and drew 1-1 in the second leg away.
To prepare for FIFA Days, the Vietnamese men's national football team is scheduled to regroup on October 5, after round 4 of the LPBank V.League1 - 2024-2025 concludes./.
