Among the four foreign teams competing in Vietnam, the Nanyang Technological University team is considered a strong candidate for the championship. This is the leading school football team in the Lion Island, having just won the 2024 Singapore University Games. Previously, Nanyang Technological University had participated in the Singapore University Games (SUniG) and the Singapore Institute - University - Polytechnic Games (IVP) for many years. The SUniG 2024 and IVP 2025 championships partly affirm the position and strength of the Nanyang Technological University team.
The Malaysian University is also highly regarded. Malaysian student players have a technical playing style, smooth coordination and good adaptability. The Lao University team is a collection of student players from 4 major universities in the land of a million elephants. The strengths of the Lao players are good physical strength and fierce competition. The formation of the coalition means that the Lao University team does not have much time to unite the team like its opponents, but in return, this is a promising team worth watching as they have the best student players from 4 universities. Meanwhile, the Life University team from Cambodia has the ability to create surprises thanks to good preparation and thorough investment.

In my opinion, the teams participating in the 2025 International TNSV Tournament - THACO Cup have similar levels and student football is also difficult to predict. Therefore, the tournament promises to be very attractive."
