The players called up this time include: Ho Van Cuong, Trinh Hoang Canh, Nguyen Van Bach, Dinh Xuan Tien, Cao Van Binh. All 5 players mentioned above were born in 2003. Notably, among those 5 players are 2 Southeast Asian U23 Champions: Ho Van Cuong and Dinh Xuan Tien.
These are the two names that played impressively to help U23 Vietnam win the Southeast Asian U23 Championship held in Cambodia in early 2022. In the opening match of U23 Vietnam against U23 Singapore, Dinh Xuan Tien was arranged to play in the shuttle midfielder position. He was the bridge between the back line and the team's attack. In that match, the player from Nam Dan had a brilliant performance, when he scored a classy goal himself in U23 Vietnam's 7-0 victory over U23 Singapore. This goal was later highly praised by experts and the press at home and abroad. In the following minutes, Xuan Tien also played explosively when he assisted captain Quang Nho to score the goal to increase the score to 4-0.

Ho Van Cuong did not score a goal for U23 Vietnam. However, this player was very active in the final match, contributing greatly to bringing U23 Vietnam to the podium of glory. In the 2022 National U19 Tournament, Ho Van Cuong played for U19 Song Lam Nghe An. He was twice voted the best player of the match and was also included in the typical squad of the National U19 Tournament.
In addition, midfielder Nguyen Van Bach, center back Trinh Hoang Canh, and goalkeeper Cao Van Binh are also promising names of Song Lam Nghe An Club.
After the U23 team lost all strikers from Nghe An, this is a talented generation of players from Song Lam Nghe An that promises to make their mark at the U20 team level.
The players will leave for Hanoi on June 2 and will have more than 1 month of training at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center.
