Young U.23 Vietnam star has not low value

After the draw on October 2, U.23 Vietnam has identified 3 opponents in group A including the host team Saudi Arabia, Jordan and newcomer Kyrgyzstan, considered a very unpredictable unknown.

Looking at player value, Saudi Arabia is the leading candidate for the top spot in Group A, while U.23 Vietnam will have an unpredictable competition with Jordan and especially Kyrgyzstan.

According to transfermarkt, midfielder Khuat Van Khang is the most valued player in the team at 300,000 euros (about 9.3 billion VND). Following him closely are Dinh Bac (275,000 euros - about 8.5 billion VND), Nguyen Thai Son (250,000 euros, 7.8 billion VND), Nguyen Van Truong (200,000 euros - 6.2 billion VND).

Slightly lower, players Le Viktor and Nguyen Phi Hoang are valued at 5.4 billion VND (175,000 euros), goalkeeper Trung Kien (150,000 euros - 4.7 billion VND)... This number will certainly increase if coach Kim Sang-sik and his team achieve the goal of passing the group stage and going far in the tournament that will take place in January 2026.

The value of Vietnam U.23 players is clearly rated much higher than Jordan's, with the 3 most expensive players being center back Amer Al-Majdoubah, right back Suhaib Al-Qadi, striker Abdulrahman Al-Zaghaiba (100,000 euros - about 3 billion VND).

Kyrkyzstan's unknown

Saudi Arabia has always been the most powerful football nation in Asia, possessing a national championship that is gathering the world's top stars such as Ronaldo, Benzema, N'Golo Kante... They are naturally the top candidate in every continental tournament, even defeating Messi's Argentina at the 2022 World Cup.

As the host team, U.23 Saudi Arabia owns many stars worth tens of billions of dong such as right-back Abdulmalik Al-Oyayari (850,000 euros - more than 26 billion dong), left-back Salem Al-Najdi (650,000 - more than 20 billion dong), right-back Mohammed Abdulrahman (550,000 - 17 billion dong), central midfielder Abbas Al-Hassan, striker Abdullah Radif (500,000 - more than 15 billion dong)...

But the biggest surprise must come from Kyrgyzstan, a rookie participating in the U.23 Asian tournament for the first time but having an impressive record in the qualifying round, even ranking above Uzbekistan who played in the last 2 U.23 Asian finals (2022, 2024).

In the squad of this team there are real stars such as right back Christian Brauzman (450,000 euros - 14 billion VND), attacking midfielder Kimi Merk (300,000 euros - more than 9.3 billion VND), left midfielder Beknaz Almazbekov (250,000 euros - 7.8 billion VND), attacking midfielder Kuduret Iskandarbekov, left back Said Datsiev, central defender rslan Bekberdinov, goalkeeper Sultan Chomoev (200,000 euros - 6.2 billion VND).
