On the evening of March 18, Vietnam time, U22 Vietnam had their first training session right after arriving in Yancheng (Jiangsu province, China), the venue for the CFA Team China 2025 Friendly Tournament.
The training session was quite light, mainly to help the players relax after the flight and get used to the weather conditions. At 2:30 p.m. (Vietnam time) on March 21, U22 Vietnam will have their opening match of the tournament against U22 Korea at the Yancheng Olympic Stadium.
Before the training session on the evening of March 18, U22 Vietnam also had a team meeting to elect the executive committee.
The captain's armband was given to midfielder Nguyen Van Truong , of Hanoi Club.
This is one of the most experienced players on the team, having reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 AFC U23 Championship and won the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 Championship.
The two vice-captains are striker Nguyen Quoc Viet (Phu Dong Ninh Binh) and center back Nguyen Nhat Minh (Hai Phong).
Currently, coach Dinh Hong Vinh and his team are in good shape before the opening match. The coaching staff has also analyzed and dissected the opponent U22 Korea for the whole team to grasp.
