Historically, the Vietnam U23 team caused a shock by finishing as runners-up in Changzhou in 2018 under coach Park Hang-seo. In the most recent continental tournament, the Vietnam U23 players were eliminated in the quarter-finals after losing to the eventual champions, Saudi Arabia U23, with a score of 0-2.
Khuat Van Khang and Thai Son (16) will be the pillars of Vietnam U.23 at the Finals.
At the 2024 AFC U-23 Championship, the Vietnam U-23 team is in Group D along with Uzbekistan, Kuwait, and Malaysia. This group is considered not too difficult for Khuất Văn Khang and his teammates. The strongest team in the group is still Uzbekistan U-23, while Kuwait and Malaysia will be the main rivals for Coach Troussier's team in their quest to advance.

According to the AFC, the Vietnam U23 team has a rather tough schedule right from the start of the tournament. Coach Troussier's team will face Kuwait U23 at 10:30 PM Vietnam time on April 17, 2024, at the Saoud Bin Abdulrahman Stadium in Qatar. Their next opponent will be Malaysia U23 at 8:00 PM on April 20, 2024, before facing Uzbekistan U23 in the final match at 10:30 PM on April 23, 2024.
Coach Troussier will continue to lead the Vietnam U23 team.
The 2024 AFC U-23 Championship will take place from April 15 to May 3, 2024 in Qatar, with 16 teams participating. Besides competing for rankings, this tournament will also determine the Asian representatives for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Specifically, the top three teams in the final round will qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The fourth-placed team (who lost in the third-place match) will participate in a play-off against a representative from the African Football Confederation to compete for a spot in France for the Olympic Games.
