Coach Ha Hyeok Jun has just announced the list of 26 players of the Laos team participating in the AFF Cup 2024. Although considered the weakest in Group B, this team still has notable players. The Laos team aims to get points and is ready to make it difficult for any opponent.
Damoth Thongkhamsavath (midfielder, 2004)
Damoth Thongkhamsavath has Vietnamese grandparents.
Many Vietnamese fans cannot forget Damoth Thongkhamsavath - the mainstay midfielder of U22 Laos at SEA Games 31. He was given a chance by coach Michael Weiss when he was only 18 years old and soon showed his talent. After that, Damoth Thongkhamsavath continued to appear in the Laos national team. What is special is that Damoth is a player of Vietnamese origin. His grandparents are both Vietnamese but have lived in Laos for a long time.
This season, Damoth Thongkhamsavath has scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists for his teammates, although the Lao League has only played 6 matches. Coach Ha Hyeok Jun hopes that his student can make a difference in the matches against Myanmar or the Philippines.
Bouphachan Bounkong (midfielder, 2000)
Bouphachan is the captain of the Laos team.
Bouphachan Bounkong is the captain and is considered the most important pillar of Lao football. At the 31st SEA Games, he was also in the group that played very well and received affection from Vietnamese fans. Able to play as a central midfielder, winger and striker, Bouphachan Bounkong possesses great personal technique, speed and impressive scoring ability.
Last season, he scored 12 goals and had 9 assists for his teammates while playing for Svay Rieng (Cambodia). This year, he has scored 6 goals and had 6 assists after half a season. Doan Ngoc Tan will soon meet Bouphachan Bounkong again when Dong A Thanh Hoa faces Svay Rieng at the AFF Shopee Cup 2024/2025 in January. The Vietnamese team needs to be wary of this player.
Peter Phanthavong (forward, 2006)
Peeter Phanthavong is the prodigy of Lao football.
Peter Phanthavong is a top young star of Laos. Born in 2006, Peter Phanthavong scored 13 goals and had 2 assists for his teammates in the Lao national championship after only 7 matches. More remarkably, Peeter Phanthavong played professionally when he was not yet 16 years old. Two years ago, this striker still scored 7 goals for Ezra FC.
Similar to many of his teammates, Peter Phanthavong possesses impressive individual skills and a highly unpredictable playing style. However, the player born in Huaphan province is not durable enough for a 90-minute match. He will face many difficulties when facing quality central defenders of the Vietnam team such as Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Do Duy Manh or Bui Tien Dung.
