The Philippines, ranked 39th in the world, remained second in Southeast Asia, while Thailand dropped seven places to 53rd.
At the continental level, Vietnam ranked sixth in Asia, behind Japan (8th globally), the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (10th), Australia (15th), China (16th) and the Republic of Korea (21st).
The maintained ranking reflects the team’s consistent performance in recent times and serves as an important springboard towards their target of winning the 2025 AFF Women’s Championship, currently taking place in Vietnam's Hai Phong city and Phu Tho province.
