Vietnam drop two places in FIFA rankings
Vietnam have dropped two places to world No.99 in the FIFA rankings released in September.
The drop was due to the national squad’s goalless draw against Thailand in the World Cup qualifier held in Thailand on September 5.
However, Vietnam maintained their top spot in Southeast Asia. Thailand are 15 places below at 114th in the world.
