Compared to the match against Laos in March in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, the list of Vietnam's team in the upcoming training session (expected on May 26) may have many changes.

This is the most important training session of the Vietnamese team in 2025, to prepare for the decisive match against Malaysia on away ground. Only with a favorable result will coach Kim Sang Sik's team open the door to the 2027 Asian Cup finals.

Personnel issues are always the top concern of coach Kim Sang Sik , as the Vietnamese team's playing style is gradually showing its smoothness. To upgrade the team's strength, Mr. Kim may put his trust in overseas Vietnamese players.

Quang Vinh has been naturalized and is eligible to play for the Vietnamese national team.

One of the names that is almost certain to be on the team list is Cao Pendant Quang Vinh of CAHN. The stable performance and quick integration of the defender with Vietnamese-French blood is highly appreciated by coach Kim Sang Sik. With Quang Vinh, the left wing of the Vietnamese team will be stronger. Currently, only Van Vi makes the Korean coach feel secure and satisfied.

“I am very happy and proud if I am called up. If I don’t have the chance, I will continue to try and wait for the right time,” Quang Vinh expressed his excitement at the opportunity to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey for the first time.

Another overseas Vietnamese player, Viktor Le of Ha Tinh Club, is also an option that coach Kim Sang Sik is considering. Playing well in the Vietnam U22 team and currently flying high with Ha Tinh in the V-League, Viktor Le is completely worthy, and can even compete for an official position in the Vietnam national team if trusted.

In the last rounds, he not only scored and assisted, but also helped Ha Tinh control the midfield well. Having the opportunity to be called up to the Vietnam national team is creating great motivation for the player born in 2003.

In addition to the two overseas Vietnamese faces above, Nguyen Filip and Dang Van Lam are also ready to join the Vietnam national team. Both have achieved good performance in the colors of CAHN and Ninh Binh .

Thus, if nothing changes, the Vietnamese team will have 4 overseas Vietnamese players and all are very high quality. However, to be able to start or play in the match against Malaysia on June 10, all must prove their ability and score points with coach Kim Sang Sik in the upcoming training session.
