(Baonghean.vn) - U23 Vietnam fell into a fairly easy group with the participation of North Korea, Jordan and UAE.
On the afternoon of September 26, the Asian Football Confederation – AFC held the draw ceremony for the 2020 AFC U23 Championship in Thailand and U23 Vietnam fell into a group that was considered not too difficult.
The draw format for the 2020 AFC U23 Championship stipulates that each group will have the presence of 4 teams from 4 different seed groups. The host team Thailand will be the default leader of group A and the draw will start with the teams in group 4 before moving on to the teams in group 3, group 2 and finally group 1 seeds into the groups.

In the 2018 U23 Asian qualifiers, U23 Vietnam, under the talented leadership of coach Park Hang-seo, excellently reached the final and only lost to U23 Uzbekistan in the final minutes of extra time.
Hopefully, with being placed in a not-too-difficult group, coach Park Hang-seo and his team will continue to create similar miracles as 2 years ago.
