The teams are pided into five seeded classes on the basis of the FIFA ratings as of June this year. Vietnam is ranked the 15th in Asia, belonging to the second.
The 40 teams will compete in eight groups.
In Vietnam, football has become very popular, especially after Park Hang-seo of the Republic of Korea started to become the head coach of many teams representing Vietnam at various tournaments in recent years.
The national football teams have achieved great advances in recent times including being the runners-up of the AFC U23 Championship in 2018, finishing fourth in the Asian Games in 2019, winning the AFF Suzuki Cup in 2018 and being one of the eight best teams in the Asian Cup earlier this year./.
