Who will U23 Vietnam face if they reach the semi-finals?

VHO - The 3-0 victory over U23 Laos on the opening day gives the U23 Vietnam team a great chance to enter the semi-finals of the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship.

After the first round of matches in Group B, U23 Vietnam is leading with 3 points, followed by U23 Cambodia and U23 Laos with 1 point each.

U23 Vietnam has a high chance of entering the semi-finals with the top spot in the group.

Tonight, July 22, U23 Vietnam will play the final match of the group stage with the U23 Cambodia team.

Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team only need a draw to enter the semi-finals as group winners.

U23 Vietnam will stop at the group stage if they lose to U23 Cambodia tonight.

However, the goal of U23 Vietnam when entering the field is always to aim for victory and preserve strength for the next race.

If they enter the semi-finals as the top team in Group B, U23 Vietnam will meet U23 Philippines or U23 Myanmar, one of the two teams with a high possibility of entering the semi-finals as the second-placed team with the best record.

If U23 Vietnam loses to U23 Cambodia but still advances as the second-placed team with the best record, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will face host U23 Indonesia.

Coach Kim Sang-sik said that U23 Vietnam always plays with focus on each match, regardless of the opponent.

“We need to focus on ourselves, we need to play as we have practiced and as planned. That is the important thing,” the Korean strategist said.

With two consecutive championships in 2022 and 2023, U23 Vietnam is expected to continue to successfully defend the title in the regional arena this year.
