The Vietnamese team is not the average type
Thailand is the team that has entered the AFF Cup final the most times, with a total of 11 times (1996, 2000, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2020, 2022 and 2024) participating in the match. compete for the Southeast Asian championship. The Golden Pagoda football team won 7 times and lost 4 times. Thailand’s win rate in the AFF Cup final is more than 63.63%.
The Vietnamese team has a very high winning rate in the AFF Cup final
Regarding the number of times they reached the AFF Cup final, the Vietnamese team lost to Thailand. We have a total of 5 finals in this tournament (1998, 2008, 2018, 2022 and 2024). But in terms of winning rate in the final, the Vietnamese team is approximately the same as the team from the land of the Golden Pagoda. Specifically, the Vietnamese team won 3 matches and lost 2 finals, a win rate of up to 60%.
This parameter reflects that the Vietnamese team may have faltered in the outer rounds, but having reached the final, we are very strong. When reaching the final, Vietnamese players often play very focused and fiery, so it is very difficult to defeat the Vietnamese team in the AFF Cup championship matches.
The Vietnamese team has never lost by more than one goal difference in the AFF Cup finals (the Vietnamese team lost 0-1 to Singapore in 1998 and 2-3 after 2 matches against Thailand in 2022). . This is something that even Thailand cannot do (Thailand lost to the Vietnamese team with a total score of 3-5 after 2 rounds of the AFF Cup 2024 final).
Every time they reach the final, the Vietnamese team almost transforms
The team with the highest winning rate in the AFF Cup finals is Singapore. The Lion Island football team has a total of 4 finals of this tournament, in 1998, 2004, 2007 and 2012. They won all 4 times mentioned above, with an absolute winning rate of 100%.
On the contrary, the team with the lowest winning rate in the AFF Cup finals is Indonesia. This team has a total of 6 finals of the Southeast Asian Championship (2000, 2002, 2004, 2010, 2016 and 2020). They lost all 6, Indonesia’s win rate is 0%. The details reflect that the bravery factor of Indonesian football is very weak, they hardly know how to stand firm in the most stressful times.
Malaysia has reached the AFF Cup final four times (1996, 2010, 2014 and 2018). They only won once in the final in 2010, the rest were lost 3 times. Malaysia’s winning rate in the AFF Cup final is only 25%.
The remaining football backgrounds in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Timor Leste and Brunei, have never had a representative reach the AFF Cup final.
