Bui Tien Dung was called up to replace central defender Do Duy Manh who was unexpectedly injured before the Vietnam national team's gathering day.
Center back Bui Tien Dung just scored a goal for Viettel Club in round 3 of V-League 2023-2024 last weekend, when Viettel hosted Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club at Hang Day Stadium (Hanoi).

The addition of central defender Bui Tien Dung to the national team helps coach Philippe Troussier's team gain more experience. Tien Dung is a seasoned player who has participated in many different international tournaments under coach Park Hang Seo.
Center back Bui Tien Dung was called up, but right back Ho Tan Tai was still not mentioned. Ho Tan Tai played very well in the V-League in the last rounds. Ho Tan Tai was even trusted to wear the captain's armband of the Hanoi Police Football Club, which is full of stars.
The fact that Ho Tan Tai was not called up this time is one of the most controversial topics in recent days, related to the Vietnamese team.
Coach Troussier's team will play against the Philippines at Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila (Philippines) on November 16. After that, the team will return to My Dinh Stadium to face Iraq on November 21, within the framework of the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia.
