Although they did not have much time to get used to the new playing style and had to face great pressure from the expectations of fans, U.22 Vietnam still showed commendable spirit and will to rise, especially the gradual progress through each match. In such a difficult context, winning the bronze medal can also be considered a success of U.22 Vietnam at this congress.

Mr. Tran Anh Tu also encouraged the players when they return to the club to continue to try to practice, compete for opportunities to play in professional tournaments, and be ready for the regrouping with new tasks, the first of which will be the international Panda Cup in China next June.

This is a youth football tournament held annually since 2014. After 2 years of interruption due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, this year the Panda Cup was restarted with the participation of 4 U.22 teams, including host China, Bahrain, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.

With the above high-quality participants, Panda Cup 2023 is considered a very useful practice for U.22 Vietnam in the preparation process for the 2024 U.23 Asian qualifiers and Asiad 19 which will take place in September 2023.
