National U15 Finals - Next Travel 2022: U15 HAGL enters easy group

On the afternoon of August 7, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) coordinated with HAGL to hold a press conference and draw lots for the Final Round of the National U15 Tournament - Next Travel 2022.

This year's tournament has many changes compared to before. For the first time, the Final Round has the participation of 12 teams instead of 8 teams as before. After popularizing the tournament regulations, the Organizing Committee has drawn lots to divide the groups for the 2022 National U15 Final Round.

This tournament will also be open to the public to welcome spectators to the stadium to cheer on the teams.

Accordingly, Group A includes U15 Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Ho Chi Minh City, Hue and Can Tho. This is considered a fairly easy group for the home team. If they play to their full potential, Hoang Anh Gia Lai will have a good chance of winning the top spot in Group A and entering the quarterfinals.

As planned, the Final Round will open on the afternoon of August 8 with the match between U15 HAGL and U15 Ho Chi Minh City at 5:30 p.m.

Quang Hai's first start at Pau FC: Still lacking confidence

In his first time being selected as a starter in Ligue 2, Quang Hai could not show his inherent qualities and did not play as confidently as expected. The midfielder born in 1997 showed that he needs more time to integrate and assert himself at Pau FC.

Quang Hai and his teammates on the attack line did not play very effectively, but thanks to the good defense, Pau won 1 point.
