After a day of rest and recovery training at the hotel, on the afternoon of November 17, U22 Vietnam returned to the training ground to continue preparing for the final match against U22 Korea at the Panda Cup 2025 international friendly tournament.

The training session took place in a serious atmosphere. The coaching staff prioritized adjusting the appropriate amount of exercise, helping the players ensure their physical foundation as well as maintain their concentration before the final match.

According to coach Dinh Hong Vinh, in the 0-1 loss to U22 Uzbekistan, U22 Vietnam showed a spirit of effort, creating many opportunities but lacking a bit of precision in the final handling. This is a valuable lesson, helping the young players to mature.

Regarding the match against U22 Korea, coach Dinh Hong Vinh said that the opponent possesses a foundation of physical strength, speed and modern playing style. The main goal of U22 Vietnam is still to test the force, accumulate experience and perfect the playing style before entering the final preparation stage for SEA Games 33 and the 2026 AFC U23 Championship.

An important mental support for U22 Vietnam is the result of the most recent confrontation with U22 Korea. In March 2025, U22 Vietnam made a strong impression when holding U22 Korea to a 1-1 draw.

The match between U22 Vietnam and U22 Korea will take place at 2:30 p.m. (Vietnam time) on November 18, while the match between U22 Uzbekistan and U22 China will kick off at 4:35 p.m.
