On the official website of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), ever since the Vietnam U23 team was promised rewards (calculated from the time the team advanced beyond the group stage), the amount of rewards, whether in cash or in kind, from individuals and organizations has always been publicly posted.
As of March 31st, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) had received almost all of its prize money, totaling approximately 51.1 billion VND. In addition, 12 organizations donated motorbikes, televisions, mobile phones, vests, and watches, while 17 organizations provided services such as English language scholarships, insurance packages, driving lessons for cars and A2 motorbikes, and free vacation vouchers at several high-end resorts.
On April 3rd, the U23 team distributed cash bonuses in two installments. The total amounts are as follows: Level A (1.8 billion VND/person): Coach Park Hang-seo; goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung, center-backs Bui Tien Dung, Tran Dinh Trong, Vu Van Thanh, Do Duy Manh, Pham Duc Huy, Luong Xuan Truong, Nguyen Quang Hai, Nguyen Cong Phuong. Level B (6 people, 1.5 billion VND/person): Ha Duc Chinh, Doan Van Hau, Pham Xuan Manh, Phan Van Duc, assistants Lee Young-jin and Bae Myung.

Level D (3 people, 850 million VND/person): two doctors and one logistics officer. Adding up the above amounts, the total disbursed funds (transferred to each person's individual account) amounted to approximately 45.55 billion VND.
Coach Park Hang-seo and the U23 team have agreed to donate approximately 700 million to 1.5 billion VND to charity. The remaining amount will be used for other purposes after reaching a consensus among all members. The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) will not interfere in the distribution of prize money. Coach Park will also receive an additional 50,000 USD from Seoul FC (South Korea) as he previously coached the team.
