U23 Vietnam match schedule at the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship
The organizing committee of the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship has just announced the detailed competition schedule, with the Vietnam U23 team starting their journey to defend their championship title from July 19 in Indonesia. The tournament will take place from July 15-29, 2025.
Match schedule of U23 Vietnam
The Vietnam U23 team under the leadership of coach Kim Sang-sik will participate in the tournament as the defending champion, aiming to successfully defend the No. 1 position. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team have a specific match schedule as follows:
July 19: U23 Vietnam vs U23 Laos (opening match)
July 22: U23 Vietnam vs U23 Cambodia (2nd match)
Draw results for the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship
Group A: Indonesia (host), Malaysia, Philippines, Brunei Darussalam.
Group B: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos.
Group C: Thailand, Myanmar, Timor-Leste.
The teams will compete in a round robin to determine their rankings. According to the rules, the top three teams and the second-placed team with the best results will advance to the semi-finals.
With this structure, U23 Vietnam has a relative advantage as they only need to overcome 2 opponents in the group to ensure a place in the next round. However, winning the top position in the group will give the team an advantage in terms of schedule and opponents in the next rounds.
The semi-finals and finals are scheduled to take place on July 25 and July 29 respectively at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium - known as the "fire pot" of Indonesian football. This is a stadium with a large capacity and a vibrant atmosphere, promising to create dramatic matches.
The tournament is an opportunity for U23 Vietnam to affirm its position and prepare for bigger goals, especially the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand at the end of 2025.
