Vietnam hosts 1 group in the 2018 U23 Asia qualifiers

According to a source from the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF), Vietnam has officially won the right to host the group stage of the 2018 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers.

The 2018 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers will kick off from July 15 to 23. The qualifying rounds will be held in various locations across Asia. After a period of preparation, Vietnam has officially become the host of the group it participated in.

U23 Vietnam will host group 1 in the 2018 U23 Asia qualifying round.

According to the seeding results, U23 Vietnam is in group 2 so it will definitely have to face one of the 5 teams in group 1: U23 Japan, South Korea, DPRK, Australia and Thailand. Any of these 5 teams are formidable opponents for Xuan Truong, Tuan Anh and his teammates.

Vietnam football news evening 6/2: VFF has not found a strong opponent for U23 Vietnam. Coach Huu Thang wants to give a spring gift with a victory against U23 Malaysia.

The opponents in the remaining 3 seed groups are not too strong compared to U23 Vietnam. Chinese Taipei, Singapore, and the Philippines are notable names in the remaining 3 seed groups. The teams in the same group as U23 Vietnam will be determined after the draw in Kuala Lumpur on March 16.

In the 2016 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers held in Malaysia, the Vietnam U23 team under the guidance of coach Miura competed successfully, finishing second in the group, behind the Japan U23 team to qualify for the finals. However, in this continental tournament, we did not have the desired results when we lost to all three opponents Jordan, Australia and UAE and were eliminated early, leading to the departure of coach Miura.
