38 U10 players entered the second round of Song Lam Nghe An's recruitment

The recruitment session was attended by Mr. Tran Quang Dung - Director of Song Lam Nghe An Youth Football Training Center, along with a team of experienced coaches and more than 100 young players from 25 satellite classes of Song Lam Nghe An across Nghe An province. Many parents were also present to cheer and accompany the children.

The Nghe An Newspaper Cup Youth - Children Football Tournament is a traditional recruitment channel, playing an important role in discovering young talents of the U10 age group of Nghe An football academy. However, this year the tournament was not held, greatly affecting the recruitment work of the SLNA Youth Football Training Center. In order to proactively prepare the force for the 2026 National U11 Tournament, the center organized a short recruitment session at the ClubLam River Nghe An.

The selection committee was formed with 10 members, headed by Mr. Tran Quang Dung, and nearly 10 highly qualified coaches directly supervising. The young players were divided into many small teams, competing against each other with 5 players on the field. Through each match, the coaches observed and evaluated carefully based on many criteria such as physique, athletic ability, personal technique, speed, tactical thinking and football vision.

As a result, after the preliminary round, 38 players who showed outstanding qualities were selected for round 2. These are the faces that are highly appreciated for their physical strength, skills and ability to coordinate in a team.

In round 2, the students will stay at the club for 3 days. The coaching team will continue to closely monitor to further evaluate their professional skills, personal character and ability to integrate into the team. After this stage, the coaches will conduct a final screening to select about 30 best faces to sign an official training contract.

The selected players will undergo a systematic training program at the SLNA Youth Football Training Center. This is also the core force of the team that will participate in the 2026 National Children's Tournament, a prestigious tournament organized by the Vietnam Football Federation.

After many years of development, SLNA training center has become a prestigious destination in the work of discovering and developing young talents. Many players who have grown up from the U-teams here have gone on to play professionally at top clubs in Vietnam, even participating in the national team. With a solid training foundation and dedication from professionals, this year's U10 team has every reason to expect to become bright stars in the future.
