U22 Vietnam reduces training list to 28 players before Southeast Asian tournament

This is the first step in adjusting the team's strength before the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 Championship.

Accordingly, after a period of professional evaluation through training sessions and two internal practice matches, the coaching staff decided to say goodbye to 8 players, including: Nguyen Quang Vinh (SLNA), Nguyen Dang Duong (The Cong Viettel ), Le Dinh Long Vu (SLNA), Dinh Xuan Tien (SLNA), Nguyen Le Phat (PVF), Le Van Thuan (Thanh Hoa), Nguyen Bao Long (PVF), Dinh Quang Kiet (HAGL).

The above group of 8 players has returned to their home clubs to prepare for the new season, while waiting for the opportunity to participate in the next training sessions, towards the 2026 U23 Asian Qualifiers as well as the 33rd SEA Games.

Previously, on the first day of the meeting, U22 Vietnam had a personnel addition when midfielder Nguyen Quoc Viet (Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club) was called up, bringing the total number of players on the list to 36.
