The Vietnam Women's National Team and the Japan Women's National Team have faced each multiple times in official Asian competitions and Olympic qualifiers. However, the head-to-head history shows a significant disparity favoring the East Asian representative.
The most recent encounter occurred on November 1, 2023, in Olympic qualifiers. At that time, the Japan Women's National Team secured a 2-0 victory over the Vietnam Women's National Team. Just over a month earlier, on September 28, 2023, at ASIAD 2023, the Japan Women's National Team even won decisively 7-0.
At the 2022 Women's Asian Cup on January 24, 2022, the two teams also met in the group stage. The Japan Women's National Team continued to demonstrate its strength with a 3-0 victory over Vietnam. Further back, at ASIAD 2018 on August 21, 2018, the Japan Women's National Team achieved a 7-0 win. Also in 2018, at the Women's Asian Cup, the Japan Women's National Team won 4-0.

The Vietnam Women's National Team has faced the Japan Women's National Team multiple times in the past
In 2016, during Olympic qualifiers, the Vietnam Women's National Team scored a consolation goal but still lost 1-6 to Japan. This is also one of the rare instances where Vietnam scored against this opponent in recent encounters.
Even further back, at the 2014 Asian Cup on May 16, Japan again won 4-0 against the Vietnam Women's National Team.
Overall, in the 7 recorded encounters from 2014 to 2023, the Japan Women's National Team has won all matches against the Vietnam Women's National Team. Japan scored a total of 33 goals and conceded only 1.
These numbers clearly indicate the distinct difference in level between the two women's football programs. Japan is one of the world's top powerhouses, having won the 2011 World Cup, while the Vietnam Women's National Team is still in a development phase and narrowing the gap with the continent's strong teams.
