On the afternoon of August 29, Coach Troussier announced the list of players to gather for the Vietnam national team during FIFA Days in September 2023.
Nguyen Cong Phuong was called up by coach Troussier to join the Vietnam national team.
This list of the French strategist has many new faces such as goalkeeper Van Phong, defender Thai Binh , Trung Hieu, midfielder Duc Chien, Van Hao, Huu Son or striker Quang Nam.
However, the most notable is the presence of striker Nguyen Cong Phuong.
Since joining Yokohama FC in early 2023, the Nghe An striker has only played for exactly 2 minutes in the loss to Nagoya on April 5.
The Vietnamese team's roster this time also includes the domestic top scorer, striker Nguyen Van Quyet.
In the 2023 season, the star of Hanoi FC was suspended for 8 matches, but after only 12 appearances in the V-League, he still managed to score 9 goals.
In addition, midfielder Do Hung Dung has also returned after a long time recovering from injury.
Besides, the return of names like Nguyen Duc Chien and Duong Thanh Hao also received much expectation.
This reunion of the Vietnamese team aims to prepare for the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia and the 2023 Asian Cup.
According to plan, the Vietnamese team will begin training from September 1 at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center.
On September 11, coach Philippe Troussier and his team will play a friendly match with Palestine at Thien Truong Stadium (Nam Dinh).
