The Vietnam national football team is the national team of Vietnam and is controlled by the Vietnam Football Federation . It has never made the World Cup .

When the nation was split into North Vietnam and South Vietnam , two national teams existed; the North Vietnamese team was not very active, playing almost exclusively other Communist countries between 1956 and 1966 . The South Vietnamese team took part in the first two Asian Cup s finals, finishing fourth both times. They played their last match in 1975 , but the unified team only started playing in 1991 .

The team has also never won the regional Tiger Cup , coming closest to victory in 1998 when Vietnam hosted the tournament. However, they suffered a 1-0 defeat in the final to Singapore in what is still one of the biggest upsets of the competition so far.
