VOV.VN - Although playing at home, U20 Vietnam will have to overcome a potential opponent to win a ticket to the Asian tournament.
The group match of U20 Vietnam in the 2025 AFC U20 Championship qualifiers will take place from September 21 at Lach Tray Stadium (Hai Phong). Despite having home field advantage, U20 Vietnam will still have to make great efforts to win a ticket to the final round when group A still has a formidable opponent, U20 Syria.

In the FIFA rankings, the Syrian team is ranked 93rd while the Vietnamese team is currently ranked 115th. Therefore, the match between U20 Vietnam and U20 Syria on September 29 is considered the "final" of the group.
If they can beat U20 Syria to win the group stage, U20 Vietnam will definitely qualify for the 2025 AFC U20 Championship. If they finish second in the group, U20 Vietnam will have to compete for the top 5 second-placed teams in the group. Therefore, U20 Vietnam must strive to win all three first matches with the best possible goal difference before facing U20 Syria.
