With the way the organizers draw lots to divide the groups, the strong teams are spread out in different groups. And not having to face Viettel, Hanoi, PVF or HAGL in the qualifying round is an advantage for U17 SLNA. Because the qualifying round will select 11 teams including: 4 First-placed teams, 4 Second-placed teams and 3 Third-placed teams with the best results in the four groups.

The teams will compete in a two-round round robin to determine rankings in each group. The Organizing Committee will select the 4 first-place teams, 4 second-place teams and 3 third-place teams with higher scores and indexes in the four groups to enter the final round taking place in Ho Chi Minh City.
