Football was introduced to Vietnam by the French 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, governed by the Vietnam Football Association, joined FIFA in 1952 and the Asian Football Confederation in 1954, and participated in tournaments such as the AFC Asian Cup. North Vietnam, by contrast, never held FIFA or AFC membership and mainly competed in friendly and solidarity tournaments with other socialist nations. Following the reunification of North and South Vietnam in 1976, the football associations merged into the Vietnam Football Federation, with the unified team inheriting South Vietnam's FIFA membership. For statistical purposes, however, the South and North Vietnamese teams are considered separate predecessors.
