History
Up until the founding of the Vietnam Baseball and Softball Federation (VBSF) in 2021,[3] there had been several teams representing Vietnam in international competitions.
Most notable among these was the team competing in the 2011 Southeast Asian Games, whose roster consisted of athletes from the Hochiminh City Sports University.[4] The team finished 4th in the preliminary round with a record of 1 - 3, with the sole win against Malaysia having them qualified to the bronze medal game. The team proceeded to lose to Thailand, finishing the tournament at 4th place.[5]
After the founding of VBSF and establishment of domestic competition, the Vietnam national team was assembled for the first time for the 2023 DGB Indochina Dream League tournament held in Laos.[6] The team finished 4th in the competition, losing all 3 games.
At the 2025 Southeast Asian Games, the Vietnam national was competed with a 22 man roster under general manager Park Hyo-chul. [7] Vietnam finished 6th out of 7 teams with a record of 1 - 5, beating Malaysia for their sole win. [8][9]
