Today, the U23 Vietnam team will enter the opening match of the U23 Asian qualifiers against U23 Bangladesh at Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ). This is a highly anticipated match of Vietnamese football.

This match will be broadcast live onFPT Play platforms or free channels such as VTV5. In addition, Dan Tri newspaper will also broadcast the match live.
Vietnam U23 entered the match with high confidence. More than a month ago, the team won the Southeast Asian U23 Championship after a convincing victory over Indonesia U23. Coach Kim Sang Sik kept almost the same squad that won the Southeast Asian championship.
Before this tournament, coach Kim Sang Sik added Vietnamese midfielder Chung Nguyen Do (Vietnamese name is Tran Thanh Trung) but at the last minute, the Bulgarian player withdrew due to injury.
Coach Kim Sang Sik was very sorry that he could not use Chung Nguyen Do in this tournament. However, he hopes that this player can still contribute to the Vietnamese teams in the future.
Overall, with the current squad, U23 Vietnam is still highly rated in Group C with opponents such as U23 Yemen, U23 Bangladesh and U23 Singapore. Vietnamese fans hope the team will achieve the same feat as when they won the Southeast Asian U23 tournament in July.
U23 Bangladesh is only a weak team at the continental level. In the past, the two teams have never faced each other at the U23 level. At the national team level, Bangladesh is only ranked 184th in the world , far behind the Vietnam team (113th). Therefore, it is understandable that the level of the two teams is different.

Not only that, U23 Bangladesh is at risk of not having coach Saiful Bari Titu in this match. He fell ill on the evening of September 1 and had to be urgently hospitalized.
Bangladesh U23 has brought many players who play abroad to participate in the U23 Asian qualifiers. They include Cuban players Mitchell, Fahmeed Salik (of British origin), Zayyan Ahmed (of American origin). Yesterday, they also welcomed player Fahamedul Islam, who is playing for the Italian club Olbia.
