Vietnam U23 under the leadership of coach Hoang Anh Tuan has left for the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament. Nguyen Ngoc Thang of Hong Linh Ha Tinh is on the list to go to Thailand this time.
On August 14, the Vietnam U23 team under the leadership of coach Hoang Anh Tuan left for Thailand to participate in the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament - a tournament in which we are the defending champions.
However, in this tour to the Land of Golden Pagodas, U23 Vietnam with the core of the U17 and U20 youth teams is not heavily focused on winning the championship. The leaders of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) hope that young players will have the opportunity to compete and gain experience to succeed the national team.
Before going to Thailand, coach Hoang Anh Tuan had shortened the list of U23 Vietnam to 26 players. Notably, many prominent faces such as midfielder Nguyen Cong Phuong, goalkeeper Cao Van Binh, striker Hoang Minh Tien...

It is known that after arriving in Thailand, U23 Vietnam will have a friendly "dress rehearsal" match with U23 Bahrain in the capital Bangkok, taking place on the afternoon of August 15. After completing this match, the team will move to Rayong province (the venue for the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament).
Here, Coach Hoang Anh Tuan will have 4 more days to complete the final preparations and finalize the official list of 23 players for the opening match against U23 Laos in Group C.
Thus, the strategist from Khanh Hoa will have to cross out 3 players to finalize the official list of U23 Vietnam to participate in the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament according to the regulations of the organizing committee.

It is known that each team competing in the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament will have to register 3 goalkeepers. Accordingly, the 3 players who have to say goodbye to U23 Vietnam are expected to be in the remaining 3 positions of defenders (6 people), midfielders (10 people) and strikers (7 people).
The players on the 26-man shortlist to go to Thailand this time will still have to make a lot of effort if they want to compete in the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament. Many players have only had a few days of training and need to quickly adapt to coach Hoang Anh Tuan's playing style.
Nguyen Ngoc Thang of Hong Linh Ha Tinh is on the list to go to Thailand.
The Vietnam U23 team participating in the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament is a group of core players, mostly U20, combined with some U23 players. This will also be the Vietnam Olympic team participating in the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou (China) next September.
