The football rivalries between Indonesia and Vietnam men's national team is one of Southeast Asia and Asia's most enduring and competitive matchups, with a history spanning over six decades.[1] Their first encounter took place on 5 September 1957, during the Merdeka Tournament in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where Indonesia secured a 3–1 victory over South Vietnam.[2] Prior to the 1990s, Indonesia encountered South and North Vietnam on 16 occasions.[3] Following the reunification of Vietnam, the newly unified team met Indonesia for the first time on 28 November 1991.[4] Over the years, the two nations have clashed a total of 49 times, with Indonesia emerging victorious 23 times, Vietnam winning 13 times, and 12 matches ending in draws—a testament to the intensity and balance of this storied rivalry.[5][6]
