Before the national team gathered, coach Kim Sang Sik had to adjust the list of goalkeepers. Accordingly, goalkeeper Nguyen Filip asked to withdraw due to family reasons, so the Korean strategist called up Trung Kien of Hoang Anh Gia Lai. Photo: Hai Hoang

Before the training session, striker Tien Linh unfortunately suffered an injury in the match between Binh Duong and Thanh Hoa in round 16 of the V-League. Although it was not too serious, he still limped when joining the Vietnam team. Photo: Hai Hoang

However, Tien Linh still joined the Vietnam national team and will be re-examined by the team's medical team. Photo: Hai Hoang

According to the plan, the Vietnam national team will have a friendly match with the Cambodian national team (March 19) and the opening match of the 2027 Asian Cup 3 Qualifiers against the Laos national team (March 25) at Go Dau Stadium. Photo: Hai Hoang
