Coach Park Hang-seo's football academy in Vietnam has been revealed.

According to several sources close toCoach Park Hang-seoIn a few days, after the Doha Cup 2023 concludes, Coach Troussier will have a meeting and conversation with Coach Park Hang-seo.

Coach Park Hang-seo is reportedly planning to launch a youth football training project. Earlier this month, he confided: "I am planning to collaborate on opening a youth academy for Vietnamese football. I will use my coaching experience in both Vietnam and South Korea to contribute to Vietnamese football in the future."

Coach Park Hang Seo is preparing to build a football academy in Vietnam.

With his experience, understanding, and current reputation, Mr. Park's plan is entirely feasible. This is also something that Vietnamese football needs right now.

Recently, Mr. Le Huy Khoa - former language assistant to coach Park - revealed that the academy that the South Korean coach plans to build in Vietnam will not be like the training model at professional clubs.

"Mr. Park told educators that his football academy would offer a community-based model, combining fun and learning for young children passionate about the sport," Mr. Khoa wrote on his personal page.

When Coach Park was still leading the Vietnamese national team, Mr. Khoa was considered an extension of the South Korean strategist's ideas, and the two were quite close in real life.

Recently, Coach Park Hang-seo and his family have taken many trips to explore Vietnam and have announced they will return to South Korea next June.

The Indonesian president sent the PSSI chairman to meet with FIFA.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo speaks out about the 2023 U20 World Cup finals.

“Both the government and the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) are trying to find a solution. I sent PSSI president Erick Thohir to meet with FIFA officials to come up with the best solution,” Indonesian President Joko Widodo said in an official statement on March 28.

President Joko Widodo then reiterated that Indonesia had been designated by FIFA to host the 2023 U20 World Cup Finals, stating that it was an honor for the archipelago nation to be entrusted with the responsibility of organizing such a major tournament.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has sent the PSSI chairman to work with FIFA.

"When Indonesia was designated as the host nation, we didn't know which teams would participate because the teams were still in the qualifying rounds. We didn't know until July 2022 that the Israeli U20 team had qualified for the finals," Indonesian President Joko Widodo continued.

On March 26, FIFA unexpectedly announced the cancellation of the draw for the 2023 U20 World Cup group stage in Bali on March 31. FIFA's move came immediately after the Bali authorities declared they would not welcome representatives or the Israeli U20 team to their territory.

In addition to canceling the group stage draw, FIFA also removed the official song of the 2023 U20 World Cup, "Glorious," from its website and Instagram account.

The 2023 U20 World Cup is scheduled to take place from May 20th to June 11th, 2023, with 24 teams competing in 6 stadiums. As the host nation, Indonesia U20 automatically qualifies for the finals. Vietnam U20 did not advance beyond the group stage in Uzbekistan and therefore did not qualify.

The central defender, currently playing for Ho Chi Minh City FC, has been plagued by injuries for the past three years. Last August, Chuong Thi Kieu underwent surgery on both knees to treat her injuries, becoming the first Vietnamese player to have surgery on both legs simultaneously.

"If I have to train intensely, I still feel a little pain, so I can't compete in sparring with the team yet. Currently, the team maintains a training schedule for muscle building in the morning and afternoon training sessions with everyone on the field. I just don't participate in sparring; I can still follow the training exercises provided by the coaching staff," - Chương Thị Kiều said about her physical condition.
