Dong A Thanh Hoa midfielder added to Vietnam national team to play Syria
Coach Philippe Troussier has reduced the list of the Vietnam national team to 30 players to prepare for the friendly match with the Syrian national team within the framework of FIFA Days in June 2023. Of which, he kept 21 players from the match against Hong Kong (China), added 6 players of the Vietnam national team and 3 players of the U23 team.
Nguyen Thai Son is one of the added players in the match against the Syrian team.
The six players selected for the Vietnam national team include goalkeeper Tran Minh Toan, two defenders Vu Van Thanh, Bui Tien Dung and three strikers Nguyen Cong Phuong, Nguyen Van Toan and Nham Manh Dung. Three players in the U23 Vietnam squad were given the opportunity to join the national team, including goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet and two midfielders Nguyen Thai Son (Dong A Thanh Hoa Club) and Nguyen Duc Phu.
Thanh Hoa midfielder Nguyen Thai Son was one of the most outstanding players in the U23 Vietnam team at the recent 32nd SEA Games. Being called up to the Vietnam national team for the upcoming match shows that Coach Troussier has a lot of faith and is willing to give Thai Son a chance.
In total, the U23 team participating in the preparation for the match with the Syrian national team has 7 players. The players whose names are not on the list have returned to their clubs.
Syria coach explains why he chose Vietnam national team for friendly match
The Syrian team only played one friendly match in the FIFA Days series this June and chose Vietnam as their opponent. Syria refused to play against teams in Africa to play against Vietnam.
Coach Hector Cuper shared the reason on the Syrian Football Federation's homepage: "Friendly matches in June often bring difficulties. Because not many teams want to play at this stage, when their players need to rest during the stressful season. Therefore, when we knew that Vietnam wanted to play a friendly match and were ready to use their strongest squad, we immediately chose them."
Coach Hector Cuper said Syria wants to use its strongest lineup to play against Vietnam and will see how well the players integrate during the short preparation time.
In terms of force, Syria owns many high-quality players playing in Europe such as Abdul Weiss, Oliver Kawo, Amma Ramadan, Simon Amin...
Khanh Hoa Club in trouble because sponsor asked to withdraw
Khanh Hoa Club is facing many financial difficulties because the main sponsor, Cam Ranh International Real Estate Joint Stock Company, has stopped sponsoring since the beginning of the 2023 season. However, the team is still accompanied by Cam Ranh KN Company Limited and Khanh Hoa Salanganes Nest One Member Co., Ltd.
Provincial leaders and related departments and agencies have held many meetings to find solutions to help Khanh Hoa Club survive, but have not achieved the expected results. Khanh Hoa Sport Joint Stock Company - the owner of Khanh Hoa Club, has requested a reduction in corporate tax payment time because it is facing many financial difficulties.
The Director of Khanh Hoa Sport Joint Stock Company said that they have not yet been able to find a new sponsor and do not have enough funds to continue the remainder of the 2023 season.

However, Ancelotti is currently under contract with Real Madrid until July 1, 2024. Brazil is being led by Ramon Menezes on an interim basis after coach Tite resigned in December last year.
The CBF said Ancelotti was considered the most suitable person to lead the team. Although the CBF confirmed that it had received Ancelotti's consent, it was only a verbal agreement and he could not sign with the CBF before January 1, 2024, according to FIFA regulations.
