The Mongolian Olympic team is considered the weakest team, the other two opponents, Saudi Arabia and Iran, are actually much better than the Vietnamese Olympic team. Saudi Arabia has talented young players. They are the reigning U23 Asian champions.

Meanwhile, Iran's youth football is determined to change its position after being eliminated from the 2024 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers. Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Quoc Viet... also faced Iran U20 at the beginning of this year and lost 1-3.

Sharing before leaving for the 19th ASIAD, coach Hoang Anh Tuan said: “We always set the goal of playing our best. With a tough opponent, the players must try harder, try harder, and be more determined to fulfill the requirements set by the Coaching Board.

The team's style of play is similar to that of the National Team. No matter who the opponent is, the team must still play with ball control, following the same tactics and philosophy.

We should not put more pressure on the players. I believe that the players understand. Although I do not give specific goals for the team, I am sure that the players understand what I want,” said coach Hoang Anh Tuan.

According to the schedule, the Vietnam Olympic Team will meet the Mongolian Team in the opening match at 3:00 p.m. (Vietnam time) on September 19, then meet Iran at 6:30 p.m. on September 21 and meet Saudi Arabia at 6:30 p.m. on September 24.
