The regional championship marked Việt Nam’s 26th consecutive international match unbeaten under coach Kim Sang-sik, extending their impressive run to nearly 700 days without defeat — a remarkable record in the team’s history.
Kim Sang-sik, who has become the most successful foreign coach for Việt Nam in the ASEAN arena after his SEA Games victory, is now making plans to lead his side to its first World Cup.
His success has made him a media sensation, and in a recent interview with JoongAng Ilbo, he shared insightful reflections on the tournament and future aspirations for the team.
