After a 1-0 victory over U23 Yemen on September 9, U23 Vietnam officially won a ticket to the 2024 AFC U23 Championship.
U23 Vietnam has participated in the U23 Asian Cup for the 5th consecutive time.
With 6 points after two matches, the red team is sure to take the top spot in Group C, regardless of the result in the final match.
Notably, this is also the 5th consecutive time that U23 Vietnam has been present at the Asian finals, a record in Southeast Asia.
The second team in Southeast Asia in terms of the number of times participating in the AFC U23 Championship is Thailand U23 (3 times).
In the first two times participating in this playground in 2016 and 2018, "The Golden Star Warriors" won a place to continue thanks to the second place with the best performance in the qualifying round.
But in the last 3 times, U23 Vietnam all went straight to the finals with the top position in the group.
Even U23 Vietnam is maintaining a streak of not conceding a goal in the qualifying round that has lasted from 2019 until now and has scored 20 goals.
The red team's best achievement in this tournament was reaching the final but unfortunately losing 1-2 to Uzbekistan in 2018.
On the evening of September 9, U23 Vietnam had a difficult match against U23 Yemen, but the personnel changes of coach Troussier paid off when Bui Vi Hao scored the only goal in the 85th minute.
Speaking at a press conference after the match, the French strategist said that the team's next goal is to win a ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
According to the schedule, U23 Vietnam will face U23 Singapore in the final match of Group C on September 12.
