U22 Vietnam prepares for the CFA Team China Panda Cup 2025 football tournament

26 players of the Vietnam U22 team gathered to prepare for the international football tournament CFA Team China Panda Cup 2025 and SEA Games 33.

Coach Kim Sang Sik has announced the list of 26 players of the Vietnam U22 team for the 4th training session in 2025, to prepare for the international football tournament CFA Team China Panda Cup 2025 and towards the 33rd SEA Games, taking place in Thailand next December.

This is the strongest gathering of the Vietnam U22 team since the beginning of this year, with members carefully selected through many international training and competition sessions.

Many prominent faces who once wore the National Team jersey continue to participate, such as Tran Trung Kien, Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Dinh Bac..., along with the pillars who have contributed greatly to the journey to win the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship and win tickets to the 2026 Asian U23 Finals, such as Nguyen Phi Hoang, Nguyen Xuan Bac, Le Van Thuan, Nguyen Thanh Nhan, Nguyen Ngoc My, Pham Ly Duc...

Another notable point is the return of striker Bui Vi Hao after a long period of injury treatment. The presence of the striker, who used to be a familiar factor in the National Team's training sessions, promises to help strengthen the attacking power of the U22 Vietnam team, especially in the context of the whole team aiming to compete for the Gold Medal at the 33rd SEA Games.

According to plan, the Vietnam U22 team will gather on November 9 under the leadership of Acting Head Coach Dinh Hong Vinh, then go to China to participate in the CFA Team China Panda Cup 2025.

This tournament will take place from November 12 to 18 in Chengdu (Sichuan province, China), bringing together four U22 teams including China, South Korea, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.

Immediately after the end of the Panda Cup 2025, the Vietnam U22 team will enter a training session to prepare for the 33rd SEA Games from November 23. During this period, the team will practice in Vung Tau, then leave for Thailand on December 2 to attend the Games.
