(Baonghean.vn) - To prepare for the race that promises many challenges at the 2020 AFC U23 Qualifiers, head coach Park Hang-seo has called up 37 players to the training list, from which the 23 best players will be selected to participate in the continental arena. In this list, there are no players from SLNA Club.

Besides, after watching the competition at the recent U22 Southeast Asian tournament, Coach Park Hang-seo also decided to call up 13 players in the U22 Vietnam team, including prominent names such as Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Tran Danh Trung, Phan Thanh Hau, Ngo Tung Quoc, Bui Tien Dung, Luong Hoang Nam...

Most notable is probably the return of striker Tran Thanh - the player who scored a memorable goal in the quarter-finals of the 2016 U19 Asian Cup, helping U19 Vietnam defeat Bahrain 1-0 to enter the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup for the first time in history.
By assembling a team full of promising U22 players, the Korean coach aims to not only create more competitiveness for the Vietnam U23 team before the 2020 U23 Asian Qualifiers but also contribute to building more solid resources for important tasks in the future, first of all the 30th SEA Games held in the Philippines this coming November.
According to the plan, the U23 Vietnam team will gather on March 6, 2019 in Hanoi. Coach Park Hang-seo and his team will have their first training session in the afternoon of the same day./.
