Praise from VFF for the U.17 Vietnam warriors

On the evening of November 30, VFF said: "After the 4-0 victory of U.17 Vietnam over U.17 Malaysia in the "final" match of Group C, President of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) Tran Quoc Tuan, on behalf of the Standing Committee of the VFF Executive Committee, sent congratulations to the entire team on their achievement of qualifying for the 2026 AFC U.17 finals as group winners.

President Tran Quoc Tuan highly appreciated the efforts and careful preparation of the Vietnam U17 team. The team won all 4 matches in the qualifying round, scoring a total of 30 goals and not conceding any. This is considered the result of continuous investment in youth training, implemented by VFF right after the 2025 AFC U17 Championship finals.

Beating Malaysia, U.17 Vietnam won the ticket to Asia: Winning all, keeping a clean sheet

VFF informed: "In order to encourage the team's spirit, VFF decided to reward the team with 600 million VND after winning the ticket to the next round. VFF also posted a congratulatory post, encouraging the team's spirit to aim for bigger goals, first of all, the Asian Finals next year.

This success is considered a meaningful gift for fans, at the same time creating a solid foundation for further goals in the future."

Player Van Duong said after the match: "My teammates and I are very happy to have won an important victory. The ticket to the U.17 Asia is a worthy result of the team's careful preparation and especially in response to the investment and care of the VFF. I am very happy that I contributed a goal in the match against U.17 Malaysia. I would like to thank the fans for always accompanying us."

Van Duong was the home team’s most impressive player in the match against Malaysia when he had 2 assists and scored 1 goal. Unfortunately, in the second half, he had to leave the field due to injury.

Van Duong assisted Manh Cuong to score the opening goal for U.17 Vietnam.
