Sharing about the achievements of the athletes at the tournament, Coach of the Vietnamese boxing team Nguyen Nhu Cuong said that this is one of the times that Vietnamese young boxers have reached the most finals when participating in the Asian youth championship. The players from countries and territories competing in the Asian youth tournament are always potential athletes. They are sent by their countries to participate in the main tournament to accumulate and grasp more expertise. We also hope that from this tournament, many young Vietnamese athletes will be more confident in the international arena.
