Southeast Asian media pays attention to the World Cup 2026 champion selections from Vietnamese national team stars.

Southeast Asian media recently showed special interest in the Vietnamese national team after Seasia Goal posted an article featuring predictions for the 2026 World Cup champion by many Vietnamese players. The post quickly drew numerous comments from regional fans, highlighting Vietnam's growing influence on the Southeast Asian football map.

According to the content shared by Seasia Goal, the Vietnamese players offered different choices for the team that will lift the prestigious golden trophy in North America. Notably, most players selected football powerhouses such as France, Portugal, England, Spain, and Brazil.

Forward Nguyen Xuan Son made the most unique prediction by naming two contenders: Brazil and Portugal. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Filip Nguyen chose France—a team boasting quality stars and impressive squad depth. Defender Cao Pendant Quang Vinh shared the same view as Filip Nguyen, rating "Les Bleus" highly.

On the other hand, Hoang Hen selected Spain, a team impressing with its modern possession-based style. Defender Bui Hoang Viet Anh trusts England to win the World Cup for the first time since 1966. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung places his hopes on Portugal, with its talented generation currently at its peak.

The fact that Seasia Goal focuses on the predictions of Vietnamese players reflects the rising status of Vietnamese football in the region. Following a series of national team successes in recent years, Vietnamese players have not only attracted domestic attention but also become a focal point for Southeast Asian media.

The 2026 World Cup is becoming exciting with many top contenders for the title. Although each Vietnamese player has their own choice, the common thread is that all believe in traditionally strong football nations with formidable squads. Fans now await to see if the predictions of Vietnamese national team stars will come true as the tournament reaches its conclusion.
