Vietnam team competes with Iraq at My Dinh Stadium
The Vietnamese team is in the same group with Iraq, the Philippines and Indonesia in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. The goal set by the VFF for coach Philippe Troussier and his team is to pass the second qualifying round, at least repeating the achievement of reaching the third qualifying round under coach Park Hang-seo.
Today, Coach Troussier officially announced the list of Vietnamese national team players preparing for the two matches against the Philippines and Iraq.
The French strategist has selected the best performers after the series of friendly matches during the FIFA Days in June, September and October, among which it is not difficult to recognize "combat-ready" faces such as goalkeeper Dang Van Lam, defenders Que Ngoc Hai, Do Duy Manh, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Nguyen Thanh Binh; midfielders Do Hung Dung, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Nguyen Tuan Anh; strikers Pham Tuan Hai, Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Tien Linh...
Besides, the team also welcomed the remarkable return of some veterans such as defender Vu Van Thanh, Pham Xuan Manh and striker Nguyen Van Quyet.
In addition, excellent young players who have been trained through previous training sessions of the national team will continue to be given opportunities, including some prominent names such as Khuat Van Khang, Hoang Van Toan, Nguyen Thai Son, Giap Tuan Duong, Vo Minh Trong, Phan Tuan Tai, Luong Duy Cuong, Ho Van Cuong, Nguyen Thanh Nhan, Nguyen Dinh Bac...
The regrettable absences in this training session are defender Doan Van Hau and midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai. These two players are still recovering from injuries.
