In October 2018, the Vietnam U19 team will participate in the AFC U19 Championship in Indonesia. At this time, coach Hoang Anh Tuan has a plan to prepare personnel for the tournament by following the recently concluded National U19 Championship in Hue.

Accordingly, the outstanding players in the U19 SLNA team and reaching the semi-finals are central defender Thai Ba Sang, Nguyen Van Viet and captain Dang Van Lam, who were named in the preliminary list by coach Hoang Anh Tuan.

In the U19 Asian qualifiers, U19 SLNA had 2 players contributing to the achievement of winning tickets to the final round: midfielder Mai Sy Hoang and center back Thai Ba Sang. However, despite showing great form and accurate assists for teammates to score, due to an injury, midfielder Mai Sy Hoang had to miss the upcoming training tournament of the U19 team.

Midfielder Dang Van Lam is no stranger to Nghe An football fans. He was the former captain of U15 SLNA and also wore the captain's armband atNational U19 Finals.

Goalkeeper Duong Van Cuong was also called up to the Vietnam U19 team, but his good reflexes could not make up for his rather limited physique (1m72). In addition, Mr. Nguyen Dinh Dung - Head Coach of U19 SLNA has every reason to regret the faces who played impressively, scoring key goals such as Tran Ngoc Anh and Lai Duc Anh.

Today (March 14), the entire SLNA U19 team has returned to Nghe An, while the three players above stayed to join the Vietnam U19 team to prepare for the International U19 tournament. The 2018 International U19 tournament has 5 participating teams and will take place from March 20-30, 2018, at Pleiku Stadium - Gia Lai. Vietnam U19 will be selected and HAGL U19 will represent Vietnam to participate in this tournament. The remaining guests include Seoul FC U19 (Korea), Mito Hollyhock U19 (Japan), Chonburi U19 (Thailand)./.
