Ahead of the 2025 Southeast Asian U23 tournament in Indonesia, the AFF has paid special attention to two players of the Vietnam U23 team, Nguyen Van Truong and Nguyen Thai Son. These are the pillars of the Vietnam U23 team, as well as previous youth teams of Vietnamese football. These two players have even played for the Vietnam national team.
The AFF website states: " Hanoi FC midfielder Nguyen Van Truong was part of Vietnam's U23 winning squad at the AFF U23 Championship two years ago, but after being used mainly as a substitute at that tournament, the 21-year-old will look to play a more influential role this time around. Tall and athletic, he is strong in the air and holds the ball well for his side.
