Young goalkeeper of Song Lam Nghe An is on the list of Vietnamese national team members
Coach Kim Sang-sik has called up 26 players to the Vietnam national team to prepare for the upcoming FIFA Day in September. In this list, Song Lam Nghe An Club contributes only one name.
On the afternoon of August 22, coach Kim Sang-sik announced the list of 26 Vietnamese players selected for the FIFA Days training session in September 2024. At this training session, the team will participate in an international friendly football tournament, with the participation of two very high-quality guest teams, Russia and Thailand.
In this team list, coach Kim Sang-sik welcomes the return of central defender Que Ngoc Hai. In addition, young goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet of Song Lam Nghe An Club was also called up.
Besides, coach Kim Sang-sik still believes in old faces like Do Hung Dung, Tuan Anh, Van Toan, Tien Linh or Pham Tuan Hai. These are all optimal choices at this time. In addition, coach Kim also gives opportunities to young players like Bui Vi Hao, goalkeeper Xuan Hoang, Van Truong.
Since V.League is still in the preparation stage for the new season, it is not surprising that the number of players called up has not changed much compared to the most recent training session. The experienced warriors continue to dominate.
In order to ensure the strength of the national U22 team to gather at the same time to participate in the international friendly tournament in China, a number of outstanding young players were not included in the list of the Vietnamese team gathering this time, including Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Thai Son, Tran Van Son, Nguyen Dinh Bac...
According to the plan, the Vietnamese team will start training from August 30 at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will have 6 days to prepare for the opening match against the Russian team at the LPBank Cup 2024.
This is an international friendly tournament organized by VFF, considered a football event that attracts the attention of a large number of fans and is of important significance to the Vietnam national team in its preparation plan for the 2024 Southeast Asian Football Championship, taking place at the end of the year.
With the participation of two highly qualified guest teams, the Russian team (ranked 33rd in the world, on the FIFA rankings, having participated in the World Cup 11 times) and the Thai team (one of the top teams in Southeast Asia), the tournament will be an opportunity for Vietnamese players to compete, improve their skills and tactics; at the same time, it will also create conditions for Vietnamese football fans to enjoy exciting competitions./.
