According to the final list finalized by coach Cristiano Roland on April 3, three players had to say goodbye to the team including Tran Hoang Khanh (PVF), Ha Huy Phuc (Hanoi) and Mai Viet Dung (Hong Linh Ha Tinh).
This is a difficult decision for coach Roland, because according to his assessment, all players in the squad of the U17 Vietnam team preparing for the 2025 U17 Asian Cup finals deserve to be given a chance.
However, the regulations of the charter only allow each team to register a maximum of 23 players in the official list, so he is forced to make the most optimal choice.
The captain of U17 Vietnam met and encouraged the aforementioned players, while encouraging them to continue their efforts to practice at the club, maintain the spirit and be ready for the next focus, especially to seize the opportunity to develop to U19 and U20 teams in the future.
Coach Cristiano Roland hopes that these players will see this as motivation to continue to improve themselves and prove their abilities.
In the morning of the same day, the representative of the U17 Vietnam team coach attended the technical meeting before the U17 Asian finals in the U17 Asian Finals 2025, and at the same time inspected Okaz Stadium's facilities, which will take place 2 of the 3 matches of the team in Group B, including the match against U17 Australia on April 4 and against U17 Japan on July 7.4.
In order to ensure the quality of the pitch for the matches, all teams do not have a single session to get used to this pitch.
According to the plan, at 6:00 p.m. today (22:00 p.m. Vietnam time), coach Cristiano Roland and his team will enter the final training session to complete preparations for the opening match against U17 Australia - a very important match for the competitive opportunity of the U17 Vietnam team in Group B.
In this match, the U17 Vietnam team will take the field in traditional red costumes.
The U17 Vietnam team will face the U17 Australia team at 10:00 p.m. on April 4 (Vietnam time).
