Vietnam U23 will enter the opening match of the Southeast Asian U23 tournament when facing Laos U23 at 5:00 p.m. this afternoon (July 19). This is considered a moderate test for coach Kim Sang Sik's team on their journey to defend the Southeast Asian U23 championship.

Fans can watch all matches of the U23 Southeast Asian tournament live on FPT Play platforms or free-to-air channels such as VTV5, VTV7 and VTV Can Tho. In addition, Dan Tri newspaper also broadcasts this match live.
In the current U23 Vietnam squad, there are also many players playing in the V-League, including goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien, Cao Van Binh, defenders Pham Ly Duc, Nguyen Nhat Minh, midfielders Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Van Truong, Nguyen Thai Son, Viktor Le, Nguyen Phi Hoang, striker Nguyen Dinh Bac...
They are all experienced players who have played in youth teams and the national team. That helps us to be highly appreciated in this tournament.
Before the tournament, U23 Vietnam was tested in a friendly tournament in Yancheng (China). Although we could not win the tournament, the Vietnamese players proved their talent when they held all three teams, U22 Korea, U22 China and U22 Uzbekistan, to a draw.

Meanwhile, U23 Laos has never been highly rated, even when they excellently held U23 Cambodia to a draw in the opening match of Group B of the U23 Southeast Asian tournament.
In the past, U23 Vietnam has had 6 encounters with U23 Laos (mostly at the SEA Games). We won all 6 of these matches. In the 2023 Southeast Asian U23 tournament, U23 Vietnam also won 4-1 against U23 Laos.
U23 Vietnam is ready to aim for the first victory against the underdog. But what the audience is waiting for is the performance of coach Kim Sang Sik and his team.
