Malaysian football in crisis after victory over Vietnam

On June 10, the Vietnamese team suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat against the Malaysian team in the first leg of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. However, the victory put the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) in an internal crisis. After only 6 months in office, FAM President Joehari Ayub resigned due to health reasons. One of the main reasons for the crisis was the strategy of massively naturalizing players who were said to have no Malaysian roots, weakening the country's football.

In the match in June, the Vietnamese players were completely overshadowed by the tall naturalized players of Malaysia.

On the Vietnamese team side, coach Kim Sang-sik is making drastic changes by calling up brand new players to the team. New names such as Nguyen Van Viet, Quan Van Chuan, Dang Van Toi, Tran Hoang Phuc and Phan Tuan Tai will be important additions to the Vietnamese team in the upcoming matches. Although there is some controversy surrounding the calling up of players who have not played much at their clubs, coach Kim Sang-sik has reason to believe in their potential.

The important thing in this call-up is the combination of veteran players such as Quang Hai, Hoang Duc, Tien Linh and new players. The combination of experience and youth will be the decisive factor in the success of the Vietnamese team in the journey to conquer a ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup finals.
