At 7:00 p.m. today (November 24), the Vietnam U.17 team will face the Northern Mariana Islands U.17 team in the second round of Group C of the 2026 AFC U.17 Championship qualifiers.

Big win for U.17 Vietnam

The Vietnam U17 team had an impressive start in the 2026 AFC U17 Championship qualifiers, beating Singapore U17 with a score of 6-0 in the match on the evening of November 22. In the second match, Vietnam U17 will face Northern Mariana Islands U17 at 7:00 p.m. on November 24 at PVF Stadium - Hung Yen .

In theory, coach Cristiano Roland's team is rated much higher than the opponent. Therefore, the goal of Chu Ngoc Nguyen Luc and his teammates is definitely a victory and 3 full points. Even U.17 Vietnam needs a big win to compete with U.17 Malaysia on goal difference.

Coach Cristiano Roland said the intensity of "5 matches in 10 days" is a big challenge, but the Vietnam U17 team "is prepared and always ready". The Brazilian coach also emphasized: "I told the team that a player can start in this match, but there will still be changes in the next match".

After the first round of matches, despite a resounding victory in the opening match against U.17 Singapore, U.17 Vietnam only finished second in Group C, because they were behind U.17 Malaysia in terms of goal difference (+6 compared to +13). In the 2026 AFC U17 Championship qualifiers, only the team that finishes first in each group (7 groups) will qualify for the final round.

Previously, in the two remaining matches of the first round of Group C, U.17 Hong Kong beat U.17 Macau 2-0, while U.17 Malaysia defeated U.17 Northern Mariana Islands with a huge score of 13-0.
