This is the strongest military gathering since the beginning of the year, with members carefully selected through many training and international competition stages.

Many faces who used to be on the national team continue to be present such as Tran Trung Kien, Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Dinh Bac..., alongside the pillars who shone at the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship and won the right to participate in the 2026 Asian U23 Finals such as Nguyen Phi Hoang, Nguyen Xuan Bac, Le Van Thuan, Nguyen Thanh Nhan, Nguyen Ngoc My, Pham Ly Duc.

The biggest highlight in the list is the return of striker Bui Vi Hao after a long period of injury treatment. This striker's return is expected to strengthen the attacking power of the U22 Vietnam team, especially in the context that the whole team aims for the Gold Medal at the 33rd SEA Games.
