Vietnam U17 continues to reveal the next batch of summoned players, including those who scored against Malaysia in the Asian U17 qualifiers.
Notably, PVF contributed up to 7 members in the first training camp, including 2 assistant coaches and 6 promising young players. Specifically, assistant coaches Hoàng Đình Tùng and Nguyễn Xuân Tùng officially joined the Vietnam U17 coaching staff. This is a memorable milestone for coach Hoàng Đình Tùng personally, as it marks his first involvement in coaching a national youth team.
Additionally, 6 players from PVF's 2009 generation were summoned: Nguyễn Huỳnh Đăng Khoa, Lý Xuân Hòa, Nguyễn Ngọc Anh Hào, Trương Nguyễn Duy Khang, Lê Sỹ Bách, and Nguyễn Văn Dương. This group of players will join the team from April 1 to May 23 at the Vietnam Football Federation headquarters, preparing for the 2026 Asian U17 Championship.
Particularly, among the 6 PVF players summoned, Anh Hào, Văn Dương, and Sỹ Bách have all scored goals against Malaysia U17, playing a crucial role in helping Vietnam U17 secure qualification for the 2026 Asian U17 Championship..
Alongside the significant presence from PVF, Sông Lam Nghệ An also quickly made an impression with the first three names called up by coach Cristiano Roland. They are Quán Thành Công, Nguyễn Minh Thủy, and Trần Ngọc Sơn, players who performed well in the 2026 Asian U17 qualifiers.
In 2026, Vietnam U17 will focus on two important tasks: the ASEAN U17 Championship and the Asian U17 Championship. The regional tournament will take place from April 11 to 23 in Indonesia, serving as a crucial preparatory step before entering the continental competition.
According to the draw results, Vietnam U17 is placed in Group A alongside Indonesia, Malaysia, and Timor Leste. This is considered a highly competitive group, requiring coach Cristiano Roland and his team to prepare thoroughly in terms of both personnel and tactics.
