Waiting for good news from Song Lam Nghe An youth teams

(Baonghean.vn) - 2016 was a difficult year for SLNA in the V.League arena. However, looking at the journey that the U.11, U.13, U.17 and U.15 SLNA teams are conquering, Nghe An fans have every right to expect good news.

Currently, only U.19 SLNA and U.21 SLNA have not entered the competition. The U.11, U.13 and U.17 teams have all successfully won tickets to the final round. Meanwhile, the U.15 SLNA team is in the qualifying round and has also shown superiority over other opponents.

Most likely U.15 SLNA will be the next team to win a ticket to the finals, aiming for a medal this year.

In this year's qualifying round, U.15 SLNA is in Group B with Nam Dinh, Ha Tinh, Thua Thien Hue and SHB Da Nang. Among them, Nam Dinh and Thua Thien Hue were defeated by SLNA. Yesterday, June 28, U.15 SLNA continued to assert its strength with a 5-0 victory over U.15 Ha Tinh. Thereby, it maintained the top position in the group with 9 absolute points. If they win against U.15 SHB Da Nang in the final match of the first leg on July 1, it can be said that coach Le Van Hung and his team have no opponents in this year's qualifying round.

With the amount of money for youth training approved by the Provincial People's Committee to increase from 20 to 25 billion/year, the nutrition and living conditions of young players have been significantly improved. Specifically, during the preparation and tournament period, SLNA youth teams receive a regime of 350 thousand/day, equivalent to Viettel's training center. This is truly a great effort in investing and promoting youth football in the province to regain its former position.

In the latest meeting, the target set by the Provincial People's Committee for SLNA's youth teams was only 1 gold medal and 1 bronze medal. This is not too difficult a task for the Nghe An team, and of course, SLNA will try to win as many medals as possible. Currently, SLNA is the team holding the record for the number of championships in the U.21 (5 times), U.19 (5 times), U.17 (7 times) and U.13 (5 times) tournaments.
