The Vietnam U17 team had an impressive start in the 2026 AFC U17 Championship qualifiers, beating Singapore U17 with a score of 6-0 in the match that took place on the evening of November 22. In turn, Le Trong Dai Nhan, Le Sy Bach, Nguyen Minh Thuy, Chu Ngoc Nguyen Luc and Tran Manh Quan (double) scored for the Golden Star team.
U.17 Vietnam ranked second in the group, after U.17 Malaysia
In the two matches that took place on the same day and were also part of the first round of Group C, U.17 Hong Kong beat U.17 Macau 2-0, while U.17 Malaysia defeated U.17 Northern Mariana Islands with a huge score of 13-0. Thus, despite the resounding victory in the opening match, U.17 Vietnam only ranked second in Group C (after the first round) when they were behind U.17 Malaysia in terms of goal difference.
In the second match, U.17 Vietnam will face U.17 Northern Mariana Islands at 7:00 p.m. on November 24. In theory, coach Roland's team is rated much higher than the opponent. Therefore, the goal of Chu Ngoc Nguyen Luc and his teammates is definitely a victory and 3 full points. In fact, U.17 Vietnam needs a big win to compete with U.17 Malaysia for goal difference.

"U.17 Vietnam is more confident after the opening match"
After the opening match, coach Cristiano Roland also gave his assessment of the performance of U.17 Vietnam: "I am satisfied with the result as well as the performance of the team. We achieved the target of 3 points in the opening match, and importantly, the state of U.17 Vietnam entering the game was good, maintained for 90 minutes. I think that is very important for young players. They did well, but need to continue to look forward to the next match. In the opening match, the first thing I think the young players will have bad situations, mistakes, but that is normal. Of course, we have prepared for such situations, and the team must learn lessons. U.17 Vietnam deserved 3 points. We feel much more confident after this match."

In addition to professional assessment, the captain of U.17 Vietnam also emphasized that solidarity is an important foundation: "For me, solidarity, teamwork and national spirit are always put first. When the players sing the national anthem, they understand best how they have to fight for the fans. I always encourage the players when entering the field to fight with the greatest motivation, even when celebrating a goal together, they must show culture, unity and create strength for the team."
