Football was introduced to Vietnam by the French colonialists in the late 19th century during the colonial period, and the country's first recorded international match took place in Saigon on 16 January 1949. During the 20th century, political division led to the existence of two separate national teams. South Vietnam as the State of Vietnam and Republic of Vietnam, governed by the Vietnam Football Association, joined FIFA in 1952 and the Asian Football Confederation in 1954 before the country's division, and participated in tournaments such as the AFC Asian Cup. The North as the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, by contrast, never held FIFA or AFC membership and mainly competed in friendly and solidarity matches with other communist nations. Following the country's reunification under the North in 1975, an iconic match between two clubs representing the two regions took place on 7 November 1976 and the unified Vietnam also nominally inherited South Vietnam's FIFA membership.
