Vietnam U17 team is determined to beat UAE to secure a place in the quarterfinals.

If Vietnam U17 wins against UAE, they will be guaranteed a place in the quarterfinals regardless of the result of the other match between South Korea U17 and Yemen U17.

After two matches, with one win and one loss, the Vietnam U17 team has only 3 points and still has many opportunities to compete for a ticket to the quarterfinals and also a spot in the FIFA U17 World Cup 2026. Vietnam's loss to South Korea U17 has made this group even more exciting, as all four teams have a chance to advance.

In the final match, the most favorable scenario for Vietnam U17 is to win against UAE U17. In that case, the team would be guaranteed a place in the quarterfinals regardless of the result of the other match between South Korea U17 and Yemen U17.

Furthermore, Vietnam U17 still has a chance to advance if they draw with UAE U17, provided South Korea U17 does not lose to Yemen U17. In that case, coach Cristiano Roland's team would still qualify as the second-placed team in Group C.

The Vietnam U17 team has returned to training ahead of their match, setting the goal of "must win". Having just gone through a strenuous and physically demanding match against South Korea U17, the coaching staff prioritized exercises to restore the players' physical condition and stabilize their mental state.

The starting lineup from the previous match mainly focused on light exercise and recovery, while the reserves and players with less playing time received additional physical training combined with tactical drills.

Before the training session, coach Cristiano Roland spent a considerable amount of time motivating the entire team. The Brazilian coach acknowledged the fighting spirit and effort of his players in the match against South Korea U17, while also reminding the team to learn from their mistakes at crucial moments.

Coach Cristiano Roland emphasized that football is always decided by small details, while encouraging the players to continue to overcome difficulties. According to him, mistakes at this point are also opportunities for the whole team to improve, as they still have control over their own destiny.

The match between Vietnam U17 and UAE U17 will take place at 00:00 on May 14th (Vietnam time).
