Before the tournament, U23 Kuwait was again worried with a record of not winning in the last 7 matches, with 3 draws and 4 losses. In which, the heaviest defeat that the West Asian team had to suffer was a 0-9 defeat against U23 Korea at the 19th Asian Games in 2023. However, coach Emilio Peixe is still very confident.

"We have been preparing for this tournament for over a year, including a very commendable draw with U23 Iraq. This is a tournament to prepare for the future. But in football every team wants to win.

We try to compete, do our best. The whole team is very excited to compete with the other 3 teams in this group," said coach Emilio Peixe.

Evaluating U23 Vietnam, Coach Emilio Peixe said: "Tomorrow's match with strong opponent U23 Vietnam is very difficult. We have analyzed U23 Vietnam. They have just changed coaches, but U23 Vietnam's goal remains the same.

We will fight, show ourselves and prove what Kuwaiti football can do in the tournament."

We work and train together, preparing for a long time to aim to once again win the highest position."

U23 Malaysia coach Juan Garrido expressed caution again: "In the first match, we met a team that is considered very strong in the tournament. U23 Malaysia needs to be in the best condition to enter this match."
