Although he has not yet had the chance to compete in the V.League environment, training and participating in friendly matches of SLNA has helped Nguyen Ba Duc mature and accumulate experience.
Being the only SLNA player called up to the preliminary list of U23 Vietnam to prepare for the Sea Games will also give Nguyen Ba Duc more motivation to show himself, in order to compete for a position in the official list for the 30th Sea Games.
This July, the Vietnam U22 team will have two short training sessions at PVF Center to prepare for SEA Games 30: Session 1 from July 8-11, Session 2 from July 22-25.
