Initial assessment, this year, the force of U21 Viettel is not as strong as the generation of Hoang Duc, Duc Chien, Trong Dai. However, they still have names currently playing in V.League such as Danh Trung, Huu Thang or Tran Tien Anh.

In group B, U21 Pho Hien with 7 points also won the only place in the final round. This is the team with 2 wins, 1 draw in the qualifying round and is also the strongest candidate because in the hands of coach Le Phuoc Tu, there are the best products of the PVF training center in recent years.

This year, U21 Pho Hien still has almost the same old force, of which more than half have just played in the First Division and the remaining nearly 10 players from PVF have just won the U19 tournament. In addition, U21 Pho Hien also called Vo Nguyen Hoang from Saigon Club, Ho Thanh Minh from Hue Club so the squad is considered very even.

The Semi-finals and Finals will take place on December 17 and December 19. This year’s matches will be played at Nha Trang’s 19/8 Stadium. SLNA last won the tournament in 2014.
