On the afternoon of September 3, Coach Kim Sang Sik announced the starting lineup of the Vietnam U23 team for the opening match against Bangladesh U23 in the 2026 Asian U23 qualifiers, taking place at 7:00 p.m. today at Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ).

Compared to when they won the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship at the end of July in Indonesia, the starting lineup of the Vietnam U23 team has two changes.

Accordingly, coach Kim Sang Sik let captain Khuat Van Khang sit out the match against U23 Bangladesh, giving Ngoc My the chance to play left forward. This was a rather surprising decision, as Van Khang is in good form for The Cong - Viettel Club in V-League 2025-2026.

In addition, striker Thanh Nhan also started from the beginning, after being absent from the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship due to injury. Thanh Nhan replaced Cong Phuong as right striker.

Thanh Nhan is also the most anticipated position of U23 Vietnam in this tournament. He will have his first official match under coach Kim Sang Sik and promises to create more explosion for the U23 Vietnam team's attack.

The central midfield pair of the U23 Vietnam team is still the familiar duo Van Truong - Xuan Bac. In which Van Truong replaced Van Khang as captain. The two wingers are Phi Hoang (left) and Anh Quan (right).

The defense of the U23 Vietnam team includes goalkeeper Trung Kien. The trio of central defenders Ly Duc, Hieu Minh, and Nhat Minh.
