Previously, in the FIFA Days training session in October, Bui Tien Dung was not present. The central defender born in 1995 has proven his worth by playing well in the early stages of V.League 1-2023/24 in Viettel's shirt and that is the reason why this player was called back to the national team.
Tien Dung returns to the Vietnam national team
The return of Bui Tien Dung is expected to help coach Philippe Troussier have more options to choose from, in the context of the team's defense suffering a loss of force. The most recent case is Do Duy Manh missing the team's appointment in this training session due to an unfortunate injury before the training session.
According to the plan, the Vietnamese team will have a week of training before narrowing down the list to 28 players and moving to the Philippines on the morning of November 13. It is expected that the team will have 3 more training sessions in the Philippines before finalizing the list of 23 players for the match against the host team, taking place on November 16. This is also the opening match of the Vietnamese team in Group F, the second qualifying round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Asia.
After the match with the Philippines, coach Philippe Troussier and his team will return to Hanoi to prepare for the match against Iraq, which will take place at My Dinh National Stadium on the evening of November 21.
It can be seen that in this training session, in addition to the experienced key players who have affirmed their positions through the training sessions of the national team, coach Philippe Troussier also called up many young players. This is also understandable because the French coach is responsible for ensuring the strength of both the national team and the national U23 team, so giving the opportunity to train with the national team for the U23 players is a necessary thing to do to prepare for the 2024 AFC U23 Championship which will take place in April next year.
