The 2024 AFC U23 Championship is a tournament to determine Asian representatives to attend the 2024 Paris Olympics. Specifically, the top 3 U23 teams of the tournament will qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The fourth-placed team (losing in the third-place match) will participate in a play-off match with an African representative to compete for a spot in France to attend the Olympics.
According to the plan, U23 Vietnam will gather to practice at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center from April 5, 2024. However, due to the V.League schedule, coach Hoang Anh Tuan will not have the full squad until April 6.
Vietnam U23 team will have 2 days of training at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center before leaving for Qatar on April 8. There, the team will play a friendly match with Jordan U23 team on April 10, thereby completing the final preparation step before officially entering the continental U23 arena.
Before competing with U23 Jordan, U23 Vietnam also had 2 friendly matches with U23 Tajikistan in the gathering in March 2024 and had 1 win and 1 draw. However, that was the time when Coach Troussier was still in charge of the Vietnam National Team and U23 Vietnam.
At the upcoming 2024 AFC U23 Championship, coach Hoang Anh Tuan will lead Vietnam U23. In the past, Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan helped Vietnam U20 compete in the 2017 U20 World Cup.
