Coach Kim Sang Sik and his students were welcomed for the second time in Hanoi.

Arriving at Noi Bai Airport (Hanoi) late at night after a stop in Ho Chi Minh City, Coach Kim Sang Sik and the remaining U23 players continued to receive a warm welcome from sports leaders and fans in the North.

At 10:30 p.m. on July 30, U23 Vietnam just left Noi Bai Airport (Hanoi) after connecting flight from Ho Chi Minh City. Mr. Hoang Dao Cuong (right) - Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism - along with some leaders of the Department of Sports and Physical Training and the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) were present to congratulate and praise coach Kim Sang Sik and his team.

After a journey lasting nearly half a day from Jakarta (Indonesia), transiting in Ho Chi Minh City, U23 Vietnam finally arrived in Hanoi . After saying goodbye to nearly half of the team, the current number of players in the team is only a few players playing for Northern clubs. Player Nguyen Xuan Bac (PVF-CAND) was continuously asked to take pictures by fans.

Dang Tuan Phong (The Cong - Viettel ) was asked for his signature. He is one of the few players who played less at U23 Southeast Asia 2025.

After the dramatic victory over U23 Indonesia in the final night on July 29, the members of U23 Vietnam did not have enough time to rest, and were very tired after having to travel and wait for nearly half a day. They flew from Jakarta at 1:50 pm this afternoon (July 30), returned to Ho Chi Minh City at 5:00 pm and landed in Hanoi at 10:15 pm.

Despite being very tired, coach Kim Sang Sik still warmly received the affection of fans at Noi Bai airport.

It was not until getting on the bus that Coach Kim revealed a moment of fatigue. He had made a great contribution and showed a strong tactical mark throughout the journey to help U23 Vietnam win the U23 Southeast Asian Championship with a winning streak.
