" The Vietnam U17 team will not be concerned about the results of the remaining matches if they defeat the UAE U17 team, thereby securing a place in the knockout round of the 2026 AFC U17 Championship."
However, this is a tough match, and the Vietnam U17 team must maintain the highest level of concentration, avoiding mistakes that could cost them dearly against South Korea U17 in the second match of Group C," AFC wrote about the match between Vietnam U17 and UAE U17.

"Meanwhile, three points are a must for the UAE U17 team. They conceded an equalizer in the final minutes against South Korea U17 and were unable to prevent Yemen U17 from scoring. If they want to advance, they cannot repeat these mistakes," the AFC added.
In the final match, the best-case scenario for Vietnam U17 is to win against UAE U17. Alternatively, Vietnam U17 still has a chance to advance if they draw with UAE U17, provided South Korea U17 doesn't lose to Yemen U17. In that case, Coach Cristiano Roland's team would still qualify as the second-placed team in Group C.
In addition, the Vietnam U17 team also has a chance to compete for a spot as the best third-placed team, provided that Qatar U17 (the host of the FIFA U17 World Cup 2026) qualifies directly from Group B.
The U17 Vietnam vs U17 UAE match will take place at 0:00 on May 14th.
