The Vietnamese national team has announced the list of 23 players preparing for the training camp during the FIFA Days in March.
The main frame of the team continues to be maintained with familiar names. In the goalkeeper position, there are Dang Van Lam or Nguyen Filip. The defense includes options such as Duy Manh, Xuan Manh, Van Vi...
The midfield still revolves around Hoang Duc and Quang Hai, while the attack has Tuan Hai and Xuan Son. This is a group of players who regularly participate in recent gatherings and play an important role in the operation of the playing style.
Notably, this time's list includes the return of Doan Van Hau and Tran Dinh Trong. Both have gone through a long period of injury treatment before regaining their competitive status.
Dinh Trong has a stable playing frequency at Hanoi Police Club, while Van Hau has initially shown integration when returning to play with specific contributions in expertise. This is also the first time this duo has been called up under coach Kim Sang-sik.
Besides familiar factors, the team has a new plan with the first appearance of midfielder Do Hoang Hen. This player has completed the nationality procedures and has many years of playing in the V.League in the colors of Binh Dinh, Nam Dinh, Hanoi FC. The ability to handle the ball and participate in organizing attacks are factors that helped him be selected in this training camp.
In the opposite direction, the team does not have the service of defender Bui Tien Dung due to injury. However, the defense is still supplemented when Bui Hoang Viet Anh returns, helping to increase choices in the center-back position.
This list also continues to create conditions for young players such as Tran Trung Kien, Nguyen Nhat Minh, Khuat Van Khang to accumulate experience at the national team level. Some other faces such as Pham Ly Duc and Nguyen Dinh Bac do not participate because they are serving a card penalty at the 2026 AFC U23 Championship.
According to the plan, the Vietnamese national team will gather in Hanoi from March 21. Some players competing in the national cup and V.League will gather later.
During FIFA Days, the team will play a friendly match with Bangladesh at Hang Day Stadium on March 26, before moving to Ninh Binh to prepare for the match against Malaysia in the Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers on March 31.
Regarding the case of goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang, this player is still in the process of completing procedures according to FIFA regulations to be eligible to transfer the federation and play for the Vietnamese national team.
