U20 Vietnam schedule at the 2027 AFC U20 Asian Cup qualifiers

According to the draw results, U20 Vietnam is in Group C with U20 DPRK, U20 Palestine and U20 Iran. Accordingly, Group C matches are held at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho).

Among the opponents, U20 Iran is considered the biggest challenge. The West Asian team belongs to the No. 1 seed group and often has a high position in Asian youth tournaments.

Meanwhile, U20 DPRK also possesses a good foundation, with highly appreciated ability to compete and organize play.

U20 Palestine is an unpredictable opponent as this country's football has made progress at many levels in recent years.

According to the schedule, U20 Vietnam will successively meet U20 DPRK on August 31, U20 Palestine on September 3 and U20 Iran on September 6. The first two matches are important in creating favorable positions before entering the confrontation with U20 Iran in the final round.

The 2027 AFC U20 Championship qualifiers take place from August 31 to September 6, 2026, including 31 teams divided into 8 groups. The top teams in each group and 7 second-placed teams with the best results will win the right to participate in the final round in China.

With this format, U20 Vietnam needs to aim for the leading position to be proactive in the race to win tickets. If they do not rank first in the group, their performance against opponents will also determine their chances of advancing when they have to compete with other second-placed teams.

Home field advantage helps U20 Vietnam have conditions to prepare and play more stably, but Group C is still considered highly competitive.
