But in football, no team can win forever. And U17 SLNA is no exception. The proof is that U17 SLNA has gone through 7 consecutive finals (2013 - 2019), all of which had to return empty-handed. Even the young team from Nghe An only had 1 chance to participate in the final match (in 2018, lost to U17 Viettel with a score of 1 - 3).
It was thought that the wait for Nghe An football fans would have to be prolonged, due to the growth of training centers such as PVF Academy, Viettel, Hanoi, HAGL JMG, Nutifood JMG... Therefore, entering this year's tournament, U17 SLNA led by coach Le Ky Phuong was not highly appreciated by experts for its ability to win the cup, even though the team had a series of excellent faces.

Entering the knockout round, U17 SLNA has just proven the full strength and mettle of the "ruler". With the talent and experience ofCoaching staff and player excellence, on its traditional foundation, U17 SLNA defeated U17 PVF (penalty shootout) and U17 Nutifood JMG (3-2) respectively, to the admiration of football fans.
The fact that coach Le Ky Phuong and his team won almost all individual titles, except for the Golden Boot award, makes the achievement of U17 SLNA at the 2020 National U17 Finals even more valuable. From now on, promising young talents such as Nguyen Canh Tiep, Dinh Xuan Tien, Nguyen Van Bach, Ho Van Cuong, Nguyen Cong Huy, Phan Xuan Dai... will shine in the colors of SLNA and the national teams.
So after 8 years, the emperor - U17 SLNA has returned to the throne./.
