Which channel will you watch the exciting U.17 Vietnam Asian qualifiers on?

Advantages of U.17 Vietnam

Vietnam U.17 entered the 2025 AFC U.17 qualifying campaign from October 23 to 27, when coach Cristiano Roland and his team were in Group I with opponents Myanmar U.17, Kyrgyzstan U.17 and Yemen U.17.

According to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) schedule, U.17 Vietnam will open the qualifying round with a match against U.17 Kyrgyzstan, taking place at 7:00 p.m. on October 23. Then, at 7:00 p.m. on October 25, Roland's students will face U.17 Myanmar. In the final match at 7:00 p.m. on October 27, U.17 Vietnam will face U.17 Yemen.

The matches in Group I of the 2025 AFC U17 Championship qualifiers all take place at Phu Tho Stadium (Phu Tho province) and are broadcast live on FPT Play.

U.17 Vietnam has arrived in Phu Tho to practice since October 17 to best prepare for three matches in the qualifying round.

"The whole team will try their best in the 2025 U.17 Asian qualifiers, determined to complete the mission to not disappoint the fans' expectations," coach Roland affirmed.

Vietnam U.17 is expected in the U.17 Asian qualifiers, because this is the core squad that together won the runner-up position in the 2024 Peace Cup friendly tournament in China.

Roland's team, then known as U.16 Vietnam, defeated U.16 Uzbekistan 3-0. In the final round, Roland's students continued to cause shock when they defeated U.16 Japan 1-0, thereby winning the overall runner-up position. Notably, Japan and Uzbekistan are the current champions and runner-up of the U.17 Asia, respectively.

The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has assigned the target of continuing to win tickets to the final round for Vietnam U.17. Maintaining a presence in the final rounds of the U.23, U.20 and U.17 Asia is the goal that VFF has set for Vietnam youth teams, aiming to create a bridge for players to accumulate experience and mature through international competition.

Coach Roland and his students take on the task of qualifying for the qualifying round.

At the 2023 AFC U-17 Championship finals, Vietnam U-17 tied with India U-17, then lost to Japan U-17 (0-4) and Uzbekistan U-17 (0-1). Coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team stopped at the group stage.

Determined to win the top spot

The 2025 AFC U-17 Championship qualifiers initially featured 43 teams and were drawn into 10 groups, with seven groups of four teams and three groups of five. The top 10 teams from each group, along with the five best runners-up, will advance to the finals, along with host Saudi Arabia.

However, according to a recent announcement by AFC, the U.17 Lebanon team will not participate due to objective reasons, so Group H only has 3 teams left: U.17 Laos, U.17 Malaysia and U.17 UAE.

This causes changes in the calculation of points for the second-placed teams. Specifically, for groups of 4 teams (such as the group of U.17 Vietnam), the second-placed team's performance against the bottom team will not be counted. For groups of 5 teams, the second-placed team's performance against the 4th and 5th-placed teams in the group will not be considered.

Therefore, U.17 Vietnam needs to win the top spot in the group to have the right to decide for themselves. Comparing the goal difference with other second-placed teams (in case of second place) will be riskier due to the change in the way of calculating points.
