VHO - The lucky draw put the U22 Vietnam team in a group with U22 Malaysia and U22 Laos in the men's football event of the 33rd SEA Games, taking place next December in Thailand.

Not only is it the result of the Memorandum of Understanding on football development cooperation signed between VFF and the Chinese Football Association (CFA), continuing to participate in the CFA Team China Panda Cup is also an affirmation of the prestige, professional capacity and stable performance of the Vietnam U22 team on the international level.

In the last time participating in March 2025, under the leadership of Acting Head Coach Dinh Hong Vinh, U22 Vietnam played impressively with an unbeaten record (tied U22 Korea 1-1, drew U22 Uzbekistan 0-0 and drew host U22 China 1-1), thereby winning third place overall.

Goalkeeper Cao Van Binh was also voted by the Organizing Committee as the best goalkeeper of the tournament.

CFA Team China Panda Cup 2025 is considered an important stepping stone for participating teams towards the 2026 AFC U23 Championship.

For U22 Vietnam, this is a quality international competition, helping the coaching staff continue to perfect the squad, test personnel and tactics, and is also an important stepping stone before the sprint stage towards SEA Games 33.

According to plan, the U22 Vietnam team will gather again at the same time as the national team's training session during FIFA Days in November 2025.
