The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) has recently revealed the ticket sales approach and price tiers for the Group C matches of the 2026 U23 Asian Championship qualifiers at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho).
In the 2026 U23 Asian Championship qualifiers, Group C, U23 Vietnam will consecutively face U23 Bangladesh, U23 Singapore, and U23 Yemen on September 3, 6, and 9 at Viet Tri Stadium.
According to the FIFA rankings, Vietnam is positioned at 109th, surpassing Yemen by 49 spots, Singapore by 51 spots, and Bangladesh by 74 spots. All these opponents are considered lower-ranked and seldom advance beyond the qualifiers.
Since the inaugural tournament in 2013, Vietnam has always qualified for the final rounds, reaching the quarterfinals twice (in 2022 and 2024) and finishing as runner-up in 2018. Yemen was eliminated in the group stages in 2013 and 2016; meanwhile, Singapore and Bangladesh have never advanced past the qualifiers.
The 2026 U23 Asian qualifiers consist of 44 teams divided into 11 groups of 4 teams each. The group winners, along with the four best second-placed teams and the host Saudi Arabia, will earn spots in the final tournament next year.
As planned, after the third round of the LPBank V-League 2025/26, the U23 Vietnam team will assemble to prepare for the qualifiers. Coach Kim Sang Sik will directly manage the U23 Vietnam squad in this competition, while the national team during the FIFA Days in September will be temporarily coached by an assistant.
On the morning of August 24, VFF announced the ticket prices for the three Group C matches of the 2026 U23 Asian qualifiers at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho).
Ticket prices are set at three levels: 100,000 VND, 200,000 VND, and 300,000 VND. Tickets will be sold both online and directly at the counters.
