VHO - After finishing the training trip and friendly matches in Kuwait, the Vietnamese futsal team arrived in Hangzhou (China) to prepare for the journey at the 2026 Asian Futsal Qualifiers.

The team traveled from Kuwait on a journey lasting more than 20 hours, transiting in Dubai before arriving in Hangzhou at 0:30 on September 15. The team quickly settled into their accommodation at the Grand Madison Hotel.

On the same morning, coach Diego Giustozzi and his team entered their first training session at Linping Sport Center Gymnasium - the official competition venue of Group E.

The futsal team has arrived in Hangzhou (China) to prepare for the journey at the 2026 Asian Futsal Qualifiers.

The training session consisted mainly of light exercises to help the players get used to the time zone and recover from the long flight. In the afternoon, the team continued to practice tactics from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, focusing on defense and quick transitions. Before leaving for Hangzhou, head coach Diego Giustozzi announced the official list of 14 players, in which Nguyen Van Tuan and Nguyen Minh Tri were not present.

Mr. Tran Anh Minh - Member of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Football Federation, Head of the Vietnam futsal team - said that the training session in Kuwait with two quality matches helped the coaching staff make important assessments before entering the tournament.

The decision to reduce the list to 14 players as per the tournament regulations was a difficult one, as most of the players performed well. However, the team is currently very confident, focusing on each training session with the goal of completing the final preparations.

According to the schedule in Group E, Vietnam futsal will face Hong Kong (China) on September 20, China on September 22 and Lebanon on September 24. With careful preparation domestically and internationally, the team aims to win a ticket to the 2026 Asian Futsal Finals, thereby affirming its position among the strong teams of the continent.
