Vietnam national team match schedule - Nam Dinh today: Opportunity for young players

At 5:00 p.m. today, September 4, the Vietnamese team will have a friendly match with Nam Dinh Club to give young players a chance to show their skills.

Vietnam team without coach Kim

In the next 2 years, coach Kim Sang-sik will promote generational transfer, when players such as Ngoc Tan, Ngoc Quang, Quang Vinh, Nguyen Filip, Tien Dung, Duy Manh, Xuan Manh, Thanh Chung, Tien Linh... are all approaching or passing the age of 30. The first stepping stone for the Vietnamese team is to defend the AFF Cup 2026 championship, the following year is the Asian Cup 2027. Therefore, the FIFA Days in September 2025 without international friendly matches will help the Vietnamese team test many new factors with less pressure. In addition, the storm of injuries with Ngoc Tan, Quang Hai, Hai Long, Van Do, Minh Khoa... further motivates interim coach Dinh Hong Vinh to boldly give more opportunities to faces who have rarely or never been called up to the national team by Mr. Kim.

The match against Nam Dinh FC comes at the right time, when the Vietnamese team will face a squad of high-quality foreign players such as Romulo, Caio, Lucas, Brenner, Kyle Hudlin... The foreign stars of the reigning V-League champions will be a tough test for the team with more than half of the squad being newcomers. The defense has goalkeeper Van Viet, Van Chuan and central defenders Van Toi, Hoang Phuc, Quang Kiet, with Tuan Tai, Du Hoc competing with Quang Vinh, Van Vi, Tien Anh on the two wings. In the midfield area, coach Dinh Hong Vinh will once again test Duc Chien, Hoang Anh, Viet Hung to pair with Hoang Duc. In the attack, Tien Linh and Tuan Hai will likely play first, while new player Gia Hung may be given a chance in the second half.

The support from Duy Manh, Thanh Chung, Hoang Duc, Tien Anh, Quang Vinh, Tien Linh, Tuan Hai... is very important. From there, the group of players born from 2000 onwards such as Gia Hung (2000), Van Chuan, Tuan Tai, Hoang Phuc, Du Hoc (2001), Van Viet (2002)... can confidently learn how to adapt to the playing style of the Vietnam national team which is very different from the club level.
