U23 Vietnam and the amazing series of matches in the homeland

TPO - U23 Vietnam is full of determination to win against U23 Yemen to win a ticket to the 2026 AFC U23 Championship. Besides the strength that has been shown, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team are also confident with a dream-like streak of matches every time they play in the sacred land of Phu Tho.

After 2 matches played in the 2026 AFC U23 Championship Qualifiers, U23 Vietnam won all matches to reign at the top of Group C with 6 points and a goal difference of +3. Thus, the young Golden Star Warriors continued to extend their unbeaten streak when playing at Viet Tri Stadium ( Phu Tho ) to 10 (8 wins, 2 draws). In other words, every time they compete in their homeland, U23 Vietnam has never known the word defeat.

Before the 2026 AFC U23 Championship Qualifiers, Vietnam U23 chose Phu Tho as the venue for the 2024 AFC U23 Championship Qualifiers. That year, the team led by coach Philippe Troussier was also in Group C, then defeated Guam U23 6-0, defeated Yemen U23 1-0 and drew Singapore U23 2-2.

In 2022, Phu Tho will be the base for U23 Vietnam in their SEA Games 31 gold medal hunt. In addition to the only draw against U23 Philippines (0-0), Coach Park Hang-seo's team won all 3 points against U23 Indonesia (3-0), U23 Myanmar (1-0) and U23 Timor-Leste (2-0). Before returning to My Dinh to play the final match, U23 Vietnam defeated U23 Malaysia with a goal by Tien Linh.

The 10-match unbeaten streak of U23 Vietnam at Viet Tri Stadium is even more impressive as we scored 19 goals (an average of 1.9 goals/match) and only conceded 2 goals (9 clean sheets). Looking back, it can be affirmed that the sacred homeland always brings luck, while also giving strength to the young Golden Star Warriors through enthusiastic cheering in the stands.

The enthusiasm of the Viet Tri audience was one of the factors that contributed to the victory.

Not only U23 Vietnam, Viet Tri Stadium also became the driving force for victory for the Vietnam National Team and the Vietnam Women's Team. In the 2024 ASEAN Cup championship, the Vietnam National Team chose Viet Tri as their home field, then created 4 wins, including 2 group stage matches (winning Indonesia 1-0, Myanmar 5-0), 1 semi-final match (Singapore 3-1) and the first leg final match (Thailand 2-1). As for the Vietnam Women's Team, it was on this field that they won a ticket to the 2026 Women's Asian Cup finals after 3 wins in the qualifying round against Maldives, UAE and Guam.

Therefore, we can completely trust in the victory of coach Kim Sang-sik and his team against U23 Yemen at Viet Tri Stadium tonight. In the previous match, the Korean strategist was very moved by the cheers of the audience, expressing his happiness because according to him, "the enthusiastic cheers from the fans are a great source of motivation for the players". Today will be no different, even Viet Tri Stadium promises to be more crowded to fuel U23 Vietnam to continue its winning streak.
