" The 2008 Southeast Asian Championship is a lifelong title in my career. I hope that young Vietnamese football players always have the desire to contribute to the Vietnam national team.
Coach Kim Sang-sik will select the best possible squad before participating in the tournament. Nguyen Filip and Dang Van Lam have both proven their talents. I hope that any of them, if they are the main goalkeepers, will maintain their desire and dedication to the national team ," goalkeeper Duong Hong Son expressed.

On the afternoon of October 26, Vietnamese fans had the opportunity to admire the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024 gold trophy in Hanoi. This activity is part of a series of side events of the ASEAN Cup 2024 Trophy Tour (formerly the AFF Cup).
Before arriving in Vietnam, the trophy procession took place in Bangkok (Thailand), Singapore, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and will continue to Jakarta (Indonesia) on November 2, then end in Manila (Philippines) on November 9.
Duong Hong Son was the starting goalkeeper in the journey to win the AFF Cup 2008 - the first time the Vietnamese team became the Southeast Asian champion. Over the years, the team's goalkeeper position has changed. Now, coach Kim Sang-sik has 2 options named Nguyen Filip and Van Lam, both of whom are Vietnamese-American goalkeepers.
The 2024 ASEAN Cup group stage will officially kick off on December 8. Group A includes Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia and Timor Leste. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team are in Group B with Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar and Laos.
