Unlike previous tournaments, in the preparation and competition process at this Southeast Asian tournament, coach Kim Sang Sik will directly lead the team, instead of handing over the team to assistant Dinh Hong Vinh.
U23 Vietnam is practicing at Ba Ria Stadium (HCMC).
The Vietnam U23 team has set a very high goal at the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament. We are the current champions of the regional tournament. At the same time, coach Kim Sang Sik and his students also want to win the Southeast Asian title to forget the sadness in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
The current squad of U23 Vietnam players is also considered to be of good quality, compared to the regional youth football level. Therefore, we must prove our ability in the Southeast Asian playground.
The players in the 23-year-old age group, with extensive professional experience, include goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien, central defender Pham Ly Duc, Dinh Quang Kiet (HAGL), defender Nguyen Hong Phuc, midfielder Khuat Van Khang (The Cong Viettel ), midfielder Nguyen Van Truong (Hanoi FC), Nguyen Thai Son (Thanh Hoa), Viktor Le (Ha Tinh)...

They have also competed in many international tournaments in the past, so these players are also trusted in terms of their abilities.
Before going to Indonesia to participate in the U23 Southeast Asian tournament (taking place from July 15 to 29, in the two cities of Jakarta and Bekasi), the U23 Vietnam team will have practice matches with the U23 Taiwan team on July 2 and 4.
After these practice matches, Coach Kim Sang Sik will finalize the list of players participating in the regional tournament. At this year's Southeast Asian U23 tournament, U23 Vietnam will be in the same group with Cambodia and Laos.
