The championship of the U23 Vietnam team is also a symbol of the aspirations of the youth.
With the skillful leadership of Korean coach Kim Sang-sik, the only goal scored in the first half was enough for U23 Vietnam to overcome a strong opponent and tens of thousands of home fans.
Immediately after the victory in Jakarta, coach Kim Sang-sik shared: “I am very proud that U23 Vietnam won the championship for the third consecutive time. This is the result of a resilient fighting spirit and careful preparation over the past month.”
The victory over Indonesia was also a historic milestone: the first time a Korean coach led both the national team and the U23 Vietnam team to win Southeast Asian tournaments in the same year.
The 1-0 victory was the result of solid defense and sharp counterattacks. It was also a victory of discipline, courage and keeping the rhythm of the match by the young players.
This is not just a sporting victory. It is also a symbol of the strength and aspiration of the young generation of Vietnam—those who dare to dream, dare to act and constantly strive. Today's U23 players represent the spirit of solidarity, professionalism and responsibility for the flag and the colors of the shirt.
This achievement is even more meaningful as it takes place in the context of Vietnamese football recovering from a period of generational transition. The U23 team's consecutive championship wins in 2022, 2023 and 2025 have affirmed that the youth training direction is on the right track. It is a victory of trust in the academy system, training centers and youth player development policies.
The spirit of the U23 victory did not only spread on the field. Millions of fans cheered on the coronation night, the sky was filled with red flags with yellow stars, and it spread on social media—all of it was a testament to the power of sports to connect with the nation.
In his congratulatory letter, the Prime Minister also emphasized: “This victory is not only an outstanding sporting achievement but also a symbol of the will to rise up and the constant efforts of Vietnamese youth – the generation that is continuing the dream of reaching out to the continental and world arenas.”
The images at My Dinh Stadium, Rajamangala Stadium or Gelora Bung Karno Stadium glowing red, are not just moments of championship. It is the moment when the young generation of Vietnam proves that they can stand on par with the strong football teams in the region and beyond – aiming for the continental and global arena.
This 1-0 victory is the foundation for U23 Vietnam to continue to move forward to bigger goals such as the AFC U23 Asian Cup qualifiers, SEA Games or even more prestigious tournaments. But more than that, it is the victory of the modern Vietnamese spirit: youthful, creative, brave and aspirational to serve the country.
Under the guidance of coach Kim Sang-sik, U23 Vietnam not only won the championship cup but also spread an immortal source of inspiration to the youth. This is not only a victory for football, but also a victory for a whole generation of young Vietnamese who are continuing their dream of building a far-reaching Fatherland.
