Before the match, coach Kim Sang-sik of Vietnam U23 and coach Ha Hyeok-jun of Laos U23 both respected each other. "Under coach Ha Hyeok-jun, Laos U23 showed clear progress. He has had a great influence on the team's playing style and organization. I respect that very much. Facing Laos U23 will not be easy at all. We have prepared well and are highly focused.

Before that, U.23 Vietnam dominated in the encounters with U.23 Laos. Khuat Van Khang and his teammates were determined to have a "resounding" victory in the opening match to create favorable momentum for the journey to conquer the prestigious gold medal in men's football at the 33rd SEA Games.

Remember at the 2025 Southeast Asian U.23 tournament, the U.23 Vietnam team won the opening match against U.23 Laos, then played better and better and won the championship. Hopefully, coach Kim Sang-sik's students will overcome the pressure, continue to win all 3 points against familiar opponents to maintain their "luck" at the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand. The faces of U.23 Vietnam are expected to shine against U.23 Laos such as Dinh Bac, Thanh Nhan, Le Viktor, Van Khang, Ngoc My, Van Thuan, Quoc Viet, Xuan Bac, Thai Son...
