The Vietnamese team will have a match against Bangladesh in the framework of international friendly matches during FIFA Days in March 2026. This will be a comprehensive test for coach Kim Sang-sik with the players, before entering the official match against Malaysia in the Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers.
This gathering has a combination of a group of experienced players such as Hoang Duc, Quang Hai, Van Lam, Nguyen Filip or Duy Manh and young faces including Van Khang, Trung Kien, Nhat Minh.
In addition, the return of Van Hau and Dinh Trong after injury helps increase options, but the professional ability of these players still needs to be verified through actual competition.
Another notable point is the presence of Do Hoang Hen. This naturalized player appeared in the call-up list for the first time and is seen as an additional option for the attack.
The match against Bangladesh is of experimental significance, in which the coaching staff focuses on factors such as defense organization, ball deployment from the lower lines and the ability to take advantage of opportunities will be monitored in detail.
However, because the match directly affected the score and ranking on the FIFA rankings, the Vietnamese team still set a goal to achieve a favorable result against the opponent from South Asia.
The match between Vietnam and Bangladesh takes place at 7:00 p.m. today (March 26), live on FPT Play.
