The list of 34 players called up for the training camp to prepare for the 2023 Asian Cup includes familiar faces such as Dang Van Lam, Que Ngoc Hai, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Tien Linh, Nguyen Van Toan... Defender Vu Van Thanh was not on the list for the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup recently, but has been called back. Goalkeeper Nguyen Filip Nguyen also officially wore the Vietnamese national team shirt when he became one of the three goalkeepers in the training camp on December 31. The audience is eagerly waiting for the VFF to announce the list and coach Troussier may bring some surprises.

The Vietnamese team will gather for the 2023 Asian Cup from December 31, with 26 players on the list selected by Mr. Troussier. The team will have 5 days of training in Vietnam, then leave for Doha (Qatar) on January 5. Here, Coach Troussier's students will play a friendly match with Kyrgyzstan on January 9, before entering the group stage.

Vietnam's opponents in the group stage of the 2023 Asian Cup are Japan (January 14), Indonesia (January 19) and Iraq (January 24). The tickets to the next round will be reserved for the first and second teams in the group. If they finish third, Vietnam must be among the four third-placed teams with the best results (out of the six groups) to enter the round of 16.

At the 2019 Asian Cup, the Vietnamese team stopped in the quarterfinals after losing 0-1 to the Japanese team.

Under coach Troussier, the Vietnamese team has played 6 friendly matches with a record of 3 wins and 3 losses. In the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup, the team won 1 and lost 1 after 2 matches, temporarily ranking second in the group.
