At the 2024 Vietnam Youth Student Football Tournament, the Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics and Finance (UEF) team showed remarkable progress compared to the 2023 season. Remember, in the final match of the Ho Chi Minh City group stage, the UEF team led the Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry by 2 goals, but the final draw was 3-3. This result was not enough for the UEF team to participate in the play-off round to compete for a place in the final round, and many players collapsed on the field, unable to hold back tears of regret.
UEF team is determined at TNSV THACO Cup 2025
Returning to the 3rd Vietnam Youth Student Football Tournament - 2025 THACO Cup (TNSV THACO Cup 2025), the UEF team is very determined. Coach Le Van Khoa expressed: "The result last season was really regrettable, when the team was very close to the play-off round. The players were very sad. This season, the whole team is very determined to pass the group stage. Every year, the UEF team wants to do better than the previous season. We will surpass ourselves".
To prepare for the TNSV THACO Cup 2025, the UEF coaching staff began selecting players early and gathered for training in October 2024. In addition to technical and tactical training, UEF players are also allowed to practice in the gym to improve their physical strength. The advantage is that there is a fully equipped gym right on campus.
Head coach Le Van Khoa wants to surpass himself with the UEF team
1.85 m tall "hot boy" striker Dinh Son Hung (left) played very well at TNSV THACO Cup 2024, now graduated
Compared to the 2024 season, the current UEF team has lost many key players because the final year players have graduated. The most regrettable case is probably that of striker Dinh Son Hung. This is one of the strikers who left a strong impression in last year's tournament, with an ideal physique of 1.85 m in height and diverse finishing ability. Son Hung is the player who scored the first hat-trick in the TNSV THACO Cup 2024.
Coach Le Van Khoa said: "There are about 3-4 students who have graduated. But the coaching staff has also replaced them with a few freshmen to join the old squad. Of course, the force will be affected, as the graduates have better quality than the new recruits. However, overall, the UEF team's force is still the same as last season, not stronger but not weaker. But the important thing is that we will compete with the best spirit and high determination."
Unity is the strength of UEF team
According to head coach Van Khoa, the motto of the UEF team is "unity - perseverance". Because only then can the team go further in the tournament. "UEF's squad this season is quite even. The coaching staff is trying to create the greatest cohesion for you, because unity is the strength of UEF, and we don't have any stars. After 2 seasons of participation but not being able to win a ticket to the final, UEF really wants to achieve this in season 3. But our first goal is to get through the group stage, and when we get into the play-off, we will try our best", coach Le Van Khoa emphasized.
In the qualifying round of the THACO Cup 2025, UEF is in Group B with Van Hien University, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law and Hung Vuong University. Regarding the opponents, Coach Le Van Khoa commented: "Ho Chi Minh City University of Law and Hung Vuong University are quite even. Meanwhile, Van Hien University is the strongest team in this group, has regular training and adequate field conditions. We want to compete for the top spot with Van Hien University."
