The list of 24 Vietnamese national team players this time includes 8 young faces from the national U23 team that just won the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship and passed the 2026 Asian U23 Qualifiers.
The presence of a group of young players, including: Tran Trung Kien, Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Hieu Minh, Nguyen Xuan Bac, Nguyen Thanh Nhan, Nguyen Phi Hoang, Nguyen Nhat Minh and Nguyen Dinh Bac promises to bring a new breeze in the way of building tactical strategies for the Vietnamese team.
In addition, this time the national team continues to maintain its core force with many veterans with extensive international competition experience such as: Do Duy Manh, Bui Tien Dung, Pham Xuan Manh, Pham Tuan Hai, Nguyen Hai Long, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Quang Hai, Cao Pentdant Quang Vinh, Nguyen Tien Linh and other familiar pillars.
The combination of youth and experience is expected to create depth and balance for the squad, ensuring both succession and stability in gameplay.
This is also the long-term orientation of the Vietnamese team in the process of establishing a new generation squad to aim for important goals ahead.
This time, coach Kim Sang-sik also created a surprise when he did not call up goalkeeper Nguyen Filip and instead called up "spider-man" Dang Van Lam. The return of the Russian-Vietnamese goalkeeper is considered a way to strengthen the defense of the Vietnamese team in the upcoming two matches against Nepal.
According to the plan, the Vietnamese team will gather again on October 4 in Ho Chi Minh City. The first leg match between Vietnam and Nepal will take place at Go Dau Stadium on October 9, while the second leg will be held at Thong Nhat Stadium (Ho Chi Minh City) on October 14.
