The Vietnam national football team represents Vietnam in men's senior international association football and is controlled by the Vietnam Football Federation, the governing body of football in Vietnam. The team's nickname is the Golden Star Warriors.
Association football was introduced to Vietnam by the French in the late 19th century during the French colonial period, and Vietnam played their first game in Saigon on 16 January 1949. However, because various conflicts occurred in the country in the 20th century, Vietnam was split into the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the State of Vietnam, later the Republic of Vietnam, beginning in 1949 and 1954. As a result, two national teams existed simultaneously and were controlled by separate governing football bodies. While South Vietnam became a member of both International Association Football Federation in 1952 and the Asian Football Confederation in 1954, North Vietnam never held memberships in either. After North and South were unified into a single country in 1976, the separate governing bodies were combined into the Vietnam Football Federation.
