The 2-4 loss to Japan, 0-1 to Indonesia, and 2-3 to Iraq at the tournament saw Vietnam forfeit 41 points and fall out of the top 100.

The “golden star warriors” also fell to the 19th in Asia and lost the No.1 position in Southeast Asia (SA) to Thailand who moved up 12 spots to the 101st place in the ranking. Following Vietnam in the SA are Malaysia (132nd), the Philippines (139th), Indonesia (142nd), and Singapore (156th).
