Motivation for U23 Vietnam

This is a great motivation and a positive signal in the preparation process of U23 Vietnam for the most important goal of the year, the 33rd SEA Games. The achievements of the U23 team in recent times not only affirm the talent and bravery of the young players, but also are a vivid proof of the spirit of patriotic emulation and the desire to contribute to the country's flag.

On the day of farewell to the players after the 2026 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers, coach Kim Sang-sik carefully instructed his students to always try to maintain their form and enthusiasm when returning to their home club.

The Korean strategist wants each player to stay focused and strive to show themselves better if they have the opportunity to play, especially in V.League matches. Coach Kim Sang-sik's advice is extremely necessary for the players, so that they can train themselves and strive harder to have a place at the 33rd SEA Games.

For coach Kim Sang-sik, the opportunity to participate in regional sports events is always divided equally, the important thing is who knows how to strive, make efforts and maintain form. In U23 Vietnam, a player who played in the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament and the 2026 Asian U23 qualifiers is not sure to be named to participate in the 33rd SEA Games.

Therefore, everyone must try their best to continue to prove their abilities in the colors of their home club in the domestic tournament until November 10, before U23 Vietnam gathers again to conquer the gold medal in men's football at the 33rd SEA Games.

For many years, V.League has always been considered a “training ground” for young players to gain experience. Compared to matches at the national U23 level, professional tournaments require stability, fierce competition and courage in the face of pressure from the audience, the media as well as experienced foreign players.

Therefore, regularly playing in the V.League is a great opportunity for U23 players to prove their worth. However, many young faces are still struggling to find a place at the club. The fierce competition forces them to double their efforts, not only in terms of professional ability but also in training attitude and fighting spirit.

For the same reason, the U23 Vietnam players have played very hard after returning from the 2026 U23 Asia qualifiers. Recently, in round 4 of V.League, Hieu Minh, Xuan Bac, Thanh Nhan (PVF-CAND), Phi Hoang, Duc Anh (Da Nang Club), Le Viktor (Hong Linh Ha Tinh), Ngoc My (Thanh Hoa), Van Khang (The Cong Viettel )... all played well and contributed to bringing good results for their clubs.

This is a good sign for coach Kim Sang-sik and U23 Vietnam, and also a motivation for other players to strive and seek opportunities to play to show themselves more. The most important thing is that U23 Vietnam players (whether they have not played or have played and shined) must maintain stability during this period, avoid injuries and improve their skills day by day.

The current U23 Vietnam team has a clear succession of forces, a harmonious combination of pillars who have trained in the national team such as Van Khang, Van Truong, Thai Son, Ly Duc, Dinh Bac to promising factors such as Ngoc My, Xuan Bac, Hieu Minh, Huy Hoang, Le Viktor...

This is an important foundation to create a young but strong team. Many faces have gradually asserted themselves, promising to become key factors for the national team in the near future.

It can be said that the achievement of six consecutive times participating in the U23 Asian Cup Finals and the third consecutive Southeast Asian championship not only affirms the talent and bravery of the young generation of players, but is also a vivid proof of the spirit of patriotic emulation and the desire to contribute to the country's flag.

Behind those victories are the brave fighting spirit, solidarity and the desire to bring glory to the Fatherland. The achievements of U23 Vietnam have contributed to lighting up the belief, arousing the spirit of solidarity and the desire to rise up of Vietnamese youth today.

This achievement will also be a great motivation for the coaching staff and players to continue their efforts in this preparation period. After 2 historic gold medals at SEA Games 30 and 31, U23 Vietnam is expected to continue to compete fairly for the championship title at the next Games.

However, to realize that goal, we cannot only rely on tactics or inspiration from the coach, success must come from the maturity and self-effort of each player.
