The U22 Vietnam team is bringing its strongest squad to China, including key players who shone at the 2025 U22 Southeast Asian Championship and the 2026 U22 Asian Championship Qualifiers. Many players in this group have previously been called up to the Vietnam national team and are identified as the core of the team heading into the SEA Games 33 at the end of the year.
On the host side, the Chinese U22 team has called up 16 out of 30 players born in 2005 in preparation for the 2025 Olympics. With a clear focus on youth development, their squad is significantly different in age compared to the Vietnamese U22 team. Based on data sources, the Vietnamese U22 team has a slight advantage over the host team in this match.
Notable highlights
- The U22 Vietnam team is entering the tournament with a stable core squad from the two recent tournaments, creating an advantage in terms of team chemistry.
- The Chinese U22 team prioritizes the 2005 age group for their 2025 Olympic goals, demonstrating a long-term development strategy.
- In previous encounters, the Vietnam U22 team usually achieved good results against the China U22 team.
U22 South Korea vs U22 Uzbekistan: Kick-off at 2:30 PM
Time:2:30 PM today, November 12th
Location:Chengdu, China
Tournament:Panda Cup 2025
Uzbekistan U22 announced their Panda Cup squad on November 8th, a significant change from the team that participated in the CFA Team China tournament in March. Except for head coach Haidarov, the players called up this time are all born in 2005, making them eligible for the men's soccer event at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. This is part of their long-term preparation for the Olympic Games.
The South Korean U22 team still boasts many notable names, mostly playing in the K-League along with two players currently playing in Europe. However, their recent form has been poor, as they lost both friendly matches against Saudi Arabia.
Quick information
- Uzbekistan retained coach Haidarov, but revamped their squad with a U23 focus in preparation for the upcoming Olympic Games.
- South Korea has a wide-ranging squad both domestically and in Europe, but needs to improve its results after a disappointing series of friendlies.
A sign of respect for the Vietnam U22 team.
Ahead of the 2025 Panda Cup, the Vietnam U22 team has earned respect from its opponents. According to relevant sources, the coaches of China and Uzbekistan are particularly wary of the Vietnam U22 team, reflecting the standing that the young Vietnamese players have built through recent tournaments.
Therefore, today's two matches are not only a stepping stone towards long-term goals (SEA Games 33, Olympics), but also a test of quality for the U22 teams at this very moment.
