Coach Kim Sang Sik finalized the Vietnam National Team's executive committee for FIFA Days in November: Duy Manh as captain, Quang Hai and Hoang Duc as vice captains, gathering on November 10, playing against Laos on November 19.
Coach Kim Sang Sik has announced the Vietnam National Team's executive committee for the FIFA Days training camp in November: central defender Do Duy Manh will continue to wear the captain's armband; the two vice-captains are Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Hoang Duc. The team will gather from November 10 in Viet Tri, Phu Tho, and is expected to have 4-5 training sessions before moving to the neighboring country on November 15, preparing for the match against Laos on November 19.
The executive committee is stable for FIFA Days November
Coach Kim Sang Sik's decision shows the priority of continuity in the dressing room. Since the AFF Cup 2024, Duy Manh has taken on the role of leader and continues to receive full trust. The presence of Quang Hai and Hoang Duc in the vice-captain position strengthens the core group in terms of expertise and internal voice.

Do Duy Manh and the weight of the captain's armband
Since being given the captaincy at the AFF Cup 2024, the player of Hanoi FC has shown his role as a connecting and spiritual support for the whole team. Continuing to put faith in Duy Manh reflects coach Kim Sang Sik's high appreciation for his experience and leadership qualities.
“Each player has different roles and responsibilities, but they all have the same goal of building a united team, overcoming difficulties and responding to the trust and love of the fans.”
Quang Hai, Hoang Duc and the voices in the locker room
The two vice-captains Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Hoang Duc are both in good form and have an important voice in the dressing room. Compared to the October training session, Quang Hai's return helped him regain his position in the executive committee from overseas Vietnamese player Cao Pendant Quang Vinh, creating a familiar and influential leadership trio.

Before a match that requires high concentration like the confrontation with Laos on November 19, a consistent message about roles and responsibilities is an important foundation for the team to aim for positive results.
