Coach Hoang Anh Tuan is also known as the coach who made history in Vietnamese football, when he led the Vietnam U19 team to enter the top 4 at the 2016 U19 Asian Cup, thereby becoming, together with Japan, Korea and Saudi Arabia, the 4 excellent representatives of Asia to win tickets to attend the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup.
At the 2024 AFC U23 Championship taking place in Qatar from April 15 to May 3, the Vietnam U23 team is in Group D with Uzbekistan U23, Kuwait and Malaysia U23.
