During the FIFA Days training session in September, the Vietnamese team had two friendly matches to "warm up" before returning to the 2027 Asian Cup qualifying campaign in October.
Although these are only internal practice matches, Coach Kim Sang Sik still has high expectations and assessments of his players' performances. Because Coach Kim Sang Sik is leading the U23 Vietnam team in the 2026 U23 Asian qualifiers, the national team is being directly managed by assistant Dinh Hong Vinh.
In the list of the Vietnamese team this time, in addition to the main players, there are also new players such as goalkeeper Quan Van Chuan (Hanoi), defender Tran Hoang Phuc (HCMC CA), Dinh Quang Kiet (HAGL), midfielder Ly Cong Hoang Anh ( Nam Dinh ), striker Pham Gia Hung (Ninh Binh).
Unfortunately, after Doan Ngoc Tan suffered an injury and had to leave the team, Hai Long and Quang Hai could not join the team for the same reason.
With the nature of the practice match, assistant Dinh Hong Vinh can use the maximum number of personnel for testing. Especially for the new players, this is an opportunity for them to score points to get a place in the national team.
According to experts, although the Vietnamese team only plays domestic practice matches, the two friendly matches with Thep Xanh Nam Dinh and CAHN promise to yield good results. The two V-League "blue teams" possess very strong forces, and can completely make things difficult for Tien Linh and his teammates.
However, the purpose of this training session of the Vietnamese team is to evaluate the strength and performance of the players, helping coach Kim Sang Sik choose the optimal squad to prepare for the upcoming matches in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup.
The friendly match between Vietnam national team and Nam Dinh Blue Steel (closed) will take place at 5:00 p.m. on September 4 at the training ground of the VFF Youth Football Training Center.
