Vietnam U23 is currently training in Ba Ria Vung Tau with 35 players to prepare for the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament. Coach Kim Sang Sik and his team have played 2 friendly matches with Taiwan (China) and won with scores of 5-0 and 2-1 respectively. After these 2 matches, the Korean strategist will shorten the list to 26 names.

Accordingly, midfielder Le Van Thuan is surprisingly one of the names eliminated in U23 Vietnam this time. Being a big discovery in the last season, receiving the award for best young player of V. League 2024-2025, this is quite shocking information.

It is worth mentioning that Le Van Thuan's performance in the times he joined the U23 Vietnam team was also quite impressive. The midfielder born in 2006 of Thanh Hoa scored in the friendly match between U22 Vietnam and his seniors in the national team in March. After that, Le Van Thuan continued to score in the 5-0 victory of U23 Vietnam against Chinese Taipei.

In the V. League last season, Le Van Thuan played 16 times, scored 4 goals and contributed 2 assists. Playing impressively for Thanh Hoa, the midfielder born in 2006 is considered one of the outstanding wingers of Vietnamese football in the future.

However, it is also necessary to add that the U23 Vietnam squad this time has a lot of players called up, most of whom have extensive international experience and some are regular members of the national team. Born only in 2006, Le Van Thuan still has many opportunities, followed by the U23 Asian qualifiers and the 33rd SEA Games at the end of the year.

According to the plan, U23 Vietnam will continue to train in Ba Ria Vung Tau until July 13, before moving to Indonesia on the morning of July 14 to participate in the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship. U23 Vietnam is in Group B with two weak opponents, Laos and Cambodia.
