U23 Vietnam excited in first training session in Indonesia

(Dan Tri) - On the evening of July 14, after resting to recover their physical condition, the Vietnam U23 team had their first training session in Jakarta (Indonesia) to prepare for the opening match of the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament.

The training session took place on a training ground about 5km from the team's hotel. However, due to the frequent traffic jams in Jakarta, it took coach Kim Sang Sik and his team nearly 50 minutes to get to the training ground.

However, the players still maintained a serious training spirit, showing determination towards the goal of defending the regional throne.

The weather in Jakarta currently ranges from 24 to 32 degrees Celsius, not too hot and quite favorable for training.

Because the players have just traveled a long distance, coach Kim Sang Sik built a training plan mainly with light exercises to help the whole team relax and get used to the weather and field conditions in Indonesia.

At the end of the training session, the Korean coach took the opportunity to practice some more content on tactical movement, organizing offensive and defensive formations, creating a foundation for more in-depth professional training sessions in the following days.

On the morning of July 15, team leader Nguyen Anh Tuan and some assistant coaches will attend the technical meeting before the tournament, while head coach Kim Sang Sik will attend a press conference before the group stage.

According to the match schedule, U23 Vietnam will meet U23 Laos in the opening match on July 19 and face U23 Cambodia on July 22 in Group B.
