Mandatory task of Vietnam U.23 team
This is a group that is considered to be low compared to the ability of the U.23 Vietnam team. The players' performance is also very high, demonstrated through the 2025 U.23 Southeast Asian Championship in Indonesia. At the same time, the U.23 Vietnam team's strength has also been improved with the participation of overseas Vietnamese Tran Thanh Trung ( Ninh Binh Club) and the return of key striker Nguyen Thanh Nhan (PVF-CAND Club).
Therefore, the mission of Khuat Van Khang and his teammates is to win the top spot in the group, get a direct ticket to Saudi Arabia. At the same time, the U.23 Vietnam team also needs to compete with determination, make efforts to sharpen tactical pieces, overcome weaknesses that still exist such as poor finishing to have good preparation for the 33rd SEA Games, taking place in Thailand at the end of the year.
All matches are broadcast on VTV andFPT Play.
