Vietnam U23 players frantically search for relatives after victory

After the 2-0 victory of U23 Vietnam over U23 Bangladesh on the evening of September 3, many young players could not hide their excitement as they rushed to find their relatives in the stands of Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho).

Cong Phuong went to find his family after the match of U23 Vietnam.

The "youngest brother" of U23 Vietnam, Nguyen Cong Phuong is one of the most notable players. After going around the stands with his teammates to thank the fans, midfielder number 18 quickly walked to find his family. However, due to security requirements, Cong Phuong only had time to chat briefly with his family before leaving the field.

The emotional moment also came from midfielder Nguyen Xuan Bac. The 2026 AFC U23 Championship qualifiers took place in his hometown of Phu Tho , so his family arrived early to cheer him on.

Right after the final whistle, Xuan Bac immediately ran towards the stands to see his parents and relatives. However, like Cong Phuong, the midfielder from PVF-CAND could not stay long. He could only chat briefly and take a souvenir photo with his family while playing in his hometown.

Captain Khuat Van Khang also received congratulations from fans while waiting for his family. The player of The Cong Viettel happily took pictures and signed autographs for everyone before leaving.

Van Khang took photos with fans before meeting his relatives.

Defender Le Van Ha, although he did not have a chance to play in this match, took advantage of the short moments after the match to visit his family. He "crossed the fence" in the A stand area, then stayed to ask about his family's health, took souvenir photos with fans before returning to the locker room with the rest of the team.

On the field, U23 Vietnam achieved their goal by defeating U23 Bangladesh 2-0 with goals from Ngoc My and Le Viktor. Although the opponent was not rated too highly, this was still an important victory that helped coach Kim Sang-sik and his team temporarily lead Group C after the first round of matches.

According to the match schedule, U23 Vietnam will face U23 Singapore on September 6, before facing U23 Yemen on September 9. The final match with Yemen is considered the "Group C final", deciding the ticket to the 2026 AFC U23 Championship finals. With a spirit of solidarity on and off the field, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team are aiming for solid steps towards the big goal ahead.
