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 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 in what still ranks as one of the biggest upsets of the competition.

The biggest achievement of the team is qualifying for the final round of the 2008 Summer Olympics football qualification rounds.

Scandals

After the 2005 Southeast Asian Games, four members of the Vietnam U-23 football team (Pham Van Quyen, Le Quoc Vuong, Huynh Quoc Anh, Le Bat Hieu) were charged and arrested with match-fixing and gambling on the Semifinal match against Myanmar. Betters payed Pham Van Quyen and Le Quoc Voung a total of 23 million Vietnamese dongs to play as slow as possible in the match, and Huynh Quoc Anh and Le Bat Hieu 20 millions each to make sure Vietnam do not win by more than 1 goal. The match ended with Vietnam winning 1-0.
