This is a meaningful tournament to help the U16 Vietnam team review and evaluate their forces to aim for the main goal of the 2026 U17 Asian qualifiers, so excellent players with potential for development are all given the opportunity to be on the list of players called up.
The overwhelming number of players is still the clubs and football centers with good achievements in youth training such as PVF, The Cong Viettel, Hanoi, Song Lam Nghe An, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, ...
Some prominent faces include Ly Xuan Hoa - the best goalkeeper of the 2024 National U15 tournament, striker Nguyen Van Duong - the best player and also the top scorer of the 2024 National U15 tournament or midfielder Chu Ngoc Nguyen Luc.
According to the plan, the U16 Vietnam team will continue to practice at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center from May 10. It is expected that on May 23, the team will leave for Hohhot city (Inner Mongolia, China) to participate in the 2025 CFA Team China U16 International Tournament, taking place from May 28 to June 1, 2025.
With the participation of very quality U16 teams including Australia, Saudi Arabia and the host of China, the U16 International CFA Team China 2025 is considered to be useful for the U16 Vietnam team, not only for the plan to prepare for the U17 Asian qualifiers 2026 but also help young players have the opportunity to "test fire" and make advancing more about the top row to play with the top rows.
