Notably, striker Bui Vi Hao returned after a long period of injury treatment. The return of the striker from Becamex Binh Duong Club, who has played for the national team many times, promises to help increase the attacking power and experience of the U22 Vietnam strikers in the journey to prepare to conquer the Gold Medal of the 33rd SEA Games.

According to the schedule, the Vietnam U22 team will have only one training session on the afternoon of November 11 to complete preparations before the match against China U22 at 2:30 p.m. (Vietnam time) on November 12.

The most important goal of U22 Vietnam at Panda Cup 2025 is still to accumulate more international competition experience, perfect personnel and playing style, aiming for SEA Games 33 and the 2026 U23 Asia final round.
