Pham Viet Hung, an officer of the Vietnam Embassy to Cambodia hopes that the home team will win all matches, reach the semi-finals, then the final so that they can watch them in person in the next round at Morodok Techo National Stadium.
Before officially entering the 2022 Southeast Asian U23 Championship, coach Dinh The Nam and his students have worked hard for more than a month. Young players could not celebrate Tet with their families. They had to practice throughout the New Year to realize their goal of conquering the Southeast Asian championship.
The U23 Southeast Asia Championship 2022 is one of the best opportunities to build an in-depth force for U23 Vietnam towards SEA Games 31, which will happen later this year, and aiming for SEA Games 32 in 2023. Therefore, the Vietnam Football Federation aims to gather excellent players of the U21 age group with impressive performances at the national U21 tournament in 2021. Besides, through competing in U23 Southeast Asia Championship 2022, the coaching board will review and choose outstanding players for the core team to attend 31st SEA Games. |
