On the afternoon of October 5, U23 Vietnam entered the first training session in October, preparing for the 33rd SEA Games and the 2026 AFC U23 Championship.

The highlight of the training session was the appearance of new player Nguyen Vadim (SHB Da Nang). Born in 2005 in Russia, Vadim has a Vietnamese father and a Russian mother. At the age of 20, this 1m75 tall player is considered quite versatile, able to play well in both the winger and central midfielder positions.

With the presence of Nguyen Vadim, U23 Vietnam now has three overseas Vietnamese players (including Tran Thanh Trung and Viktor Le).

U23 Vietnam is missing many familiar faces due to being promoted to the Vietnam national team by coach Kim Sang Sik.

Viktor Le and Quoc Viet had to practice separately in the first practice session. However, both of them had no injury problems.

U23 Vietnam will train at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center until October 7, then go to the UAE for training.

Here, the team has 2 friendly matches with the Qatar U23 team, which are considered to be of very high quality, on October 9 and October 13 respectively.

Overseas Vietnamese player Tran Thanh Trung is playing for Ninh Binh Club.

Because coach Kim Sang Sik is busy leading the Vietnam national team, Acting head coach Dinh Hong Vinh is the one to direct the Vietnam U23 team. Mr. Vinh assessed that the Vietnam U23 players are very hard-working and always complete the training plan set by the coaching staff.

U23 Vietnam aims for gold medal at SEA Games 33.
