Vietnam team announces list of players for 2 matches against Nepal: Using young and combative force

On September 30, head coach Kim Sang Sik announced the list of 24 players of the Vietnamese team to gather in the 4th session of 2025, preparing for two matches against Nepal in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup next October.

According to the list announced by Coach Kim Sang Sik, notably, there are 8 young faces from the U23 generation that just won the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship and passed the 2026 Asian U23 Qualifiers, including: Tran Trung Kien, Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Hieu Minh, Nguyen Xuan Bac, Nguyen Thanh Nhan, Nguyen Phi Hoang, Nguyen Nhat Minh and Nguyen Dinh Bac. This is a generation of players who have proven their expertise and promise to bring a new breeze and more tactical options to the team.

In addition, the team also continues to maintain its core force with many veterans with extensive international competition experience such as Do Duy Manh, Bui Tien Dung, Pham Xuan Manh, Pham Tuan Hai, Nguyen Hai Long, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Quang Hai, Cao Pentdant Quang Vinh, Nguyen Tien Linh.... and other familiar pillars.

The combination of youth and experience is expected to create depth and balance for the squad, ensuring both succession and stability in the playing style. This is also the long-term orientation of the team in the process of establishing a new generation squad to aim for important goals ahead.

According to the plan, the Vietnam team will gather again on October 4 in Ho Chi Minh City to prepare for two matches against Nepal. The first leg will take place at Go Dau Stadium on October 9, while the second leg will be held at Thong Nhat Stadium (Ho Chi Minh City) on October 14, 2025.

The Organizing Committee has also officially announced the ticket sales plan for the two matches mentioned above. Tickets have two denominations of 200,000 VND and 400,000 VND, issued exclusively online on the OneU application (formerly VinID) from September 29 to October 7 in two phases, and also opened for direct sale at the ticket counters of Go Dau and Thong Nhat stadiums from October 4. Tickets are delivered via VietnamPost or received at post offices according to regulations.
