Coach Hoang Anh Tuan finalizes the list of U23 Vietnam to participate in the U23 Asian tournament

On the afternoon of April 15 local time, coach Hoang Anh Tuan announced the list of 23 players of the Vietnam U23 team participating in the 2024 U23 Asian Cup finals, including 2 players from Song Lam Nghe An Club: goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet and defender Le Nguyen Hoang.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan said that before deciding on the official list of 23 players of the Vietnam U23 Team to participate in the 2024 AFC U23 Championship Finals, the coaching staff had a very thorough discussion based on the evaluations after the recent training and friendly matches, with 3 basic criteria: expertise, performance and ability to meet the technical and tactical requirements of the team.

At the meeting before today's training session, Head of Delegation Nguyen Quoc Hoi and Head Coach Hoang Anh Tuan informed the whole team about the Coaching Board's choice, and at the same time, encouraged the 4 players who were not named in the U23 Asian Finals campaign this time, including: Goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien, defender Nguyen Thanh Khai, Nguyen Duc Anh and midfielder Ha Van Phuong, to continue to strive to seize opportunities in the next training sessions of the team. For young players, the sky is always wide open.

Coach Hoang Anh Tuan also said that up to now, the Vietnam U23 team has completed preparations and is ready to enter the 2024 AFC U23 Championship Finals. “In my assessment through the training session, the performance of the players, especially the players on the list of players participating in the 2024 AFC U23 Championship Finals, is quite good. We hope to receive support from the media and fans to achieve the best results at this AFC U23 Championship Finals,” said coach Hoang Anh Tuan.

Tomorrow morning (April 16), the team's management board and some assistant coaches will attend a technical meeting. Meanwhile, head coach Hoang Anh Tuan will attend a press conference before the group stage matches. Because the AFC does not allow teams to practice on the pitch to maintain the grass, the players will have a tour of Al Jaloub Stadium - where the opening match against U23 Kuwait will take place on April 17./.
