The selection round was selected by the Coaching Board from the contestants in many provinces and cities across the country. Through physical tests, assessment of competition skills, team spirit, training attitude as well as the will to overcome difficulties, the Coaching Board selected the Top 15 young players. The Top 15 officially entered the training round, gradually completing the matches. Through the rounds, the Coaching Board will eliminate and retain the Top 10.

The top 10 will train with the national team, under the direct guidance of Korean coach Kim Sang Sik. This year, the young players will have the opportunity to go to Thailand - the host of the 33rd SEA Games - to interact with a youth team. This will give them the opportunity to compete and interact internationally, gradually training a generation of young players who are well-rounded in terms of skills, courage and personality.

In addition to the host, the young players are accompanied throughout by Coach Hong Son and many guests who are famous players and artists through challenges and competitions. With a program duration of nearly 60 minutes, “Young Players” brings viewers a new perspective on football for teenagers. There is not only a training ground for competition skills and physical strength; but also training in discipline, personality development, and team spirit.

In “Young Players”, behind the seemingly dry exercises are stories of friends, empathy and passion for football, helping young players encourage each other to overcome challenges and reach their dreams. Like the story of Thi Van Nam (12 years old, Da Nang ), living with a visually impaired mother and an elderly grandmother with poor health, so for him, being able to satisfy his passion for football is one of the spiritual supports. Or Hau K'Van Luan (12 years old, Lam Dong) living with his elderly grandparents, with no ball to play with, he uses cans wrapped in cloth instead, to continue his dream of one day playing in a big stadium where his grandparents can witness.

"Young players" have each training round, from basic to professional and through each journey, the young talents gradually learn skills, techniques, and practice their mettle. Like the opening journey at Viettel The Cong Club, 15 young players met and got to know many coaches and young players, notably Vo Hoang Thien Quy - Champion of Young Players 2021, currently a member of the U17 team of Viettel The Cong Club and on the list of players competing in the National U17 Championship. Here, the Top 15 were trained in basic techniques, from passing, controlling the ball to moving flexibly on the field, defending, reading the game and coordinating formations. These skills help young players practice tactical thinking and quick reflexes.

“Little Player” not only brings the audience a thrilling atmosphere through challenges and decisions to eliminate or keep players; but is also a program that connects emotions through the journey of nurturing the passion of young talents.
