The first training session was designed by the coaching staff with a moderate volume, mainly to help the players recover after the long journey, and at the same time get used to the new environment and time zone.

In addition, coach Cristiano Roland also spent time on tactical reinforcement exercises, helping the whole team quickly get into the training phase in Japan.

As planned, on November 8, the Vietnam U17 team will have its first friendly match against U18 Imabari FC - the youth team of Imabari Club, currently playing in J.League 2.

This is considered a suitable test for the warm-up stage of U17 Vietnam in the process of perfecting the squad and playing style, towards the 2026 U17 Asian Qualifiers.

This training trip is part of a plan developed by VFF, with the goal of helping young players gain experience in international competitions.

In Japan, U17 Vietnam is expected to have 3 international practice matches with carefully selected "blue troops" to suit the professional requirements of the Coaching Board.

After completing the training trip, U17 Vietnam will return home on November 15, entering the final preparation phase before participating in the 2026 AFC U17 Qualifiers, taking place from November 22 to 30 in Hanoi and Hung Yen.
