Specifically, Nguyen Huu Thang's Vietnam team rose 7 places to 129th place on the rankings with 235 points.

The team's promotion is thanks to impressive victories over the past time, especially the achievement at the AFF Cup 2016 when they quickly won a ticket to the semi-finals.

However, the Thai team has risen 17 places to share the 129th position in the world with the Vietnamese team. Thailand has also reached the semi-finals and is considered a potential opponent of the Vietnamese team in the final match.

The top spot in Southeast Asia still belongs to the Philippines. The host team of Group A of the 2016 AFF Cup has risen 7 places to 117th in the world.

Meanwhile, the world's top 10 has changed when the Brazilian team has increased one place to take second place from the German team, while the Chile team has also climbed two places to fourth place.

Thus, in the top 4 teams with the highest rankings on the FIFA rankings, South America has three teams: Argentina (number 1), Brazil and Chile. If counting the top 10, this region has 5 teams including Colombia (6) and Uruguay (9).
