New head coach Hua Dien Vinh has called up 29 players for the camp, including many from the U17 squad competing at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U17 Asian Cup 2023 in Thailand and the friendship tournament of U18 Seoul Eou Cup in the Republic of Korea (RoK) also last year.
Some of the footballers used to receive training at the clubs playing at J. League of Japan under the VFF’s cooperation with the Japan Football Association.
However, the training camp has yet to gather all the best U19 players as many are still playing at their clubs at domestic tourneys.
The first training session will take place at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Centre on May 17 morning.
The team are scheduled to leave for China on June 2 to play at the international U19 tournament held by the Chinese Football Association.
Apart from hosts China, this event will also see the participation of the teams from Uzbekistan and the RoK. It is considered a test for the Vietnamese players before competing at the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) U19 Youth Championship 2024 and the AFC U20 Asian Cup 2025 qualification./.
