The U23 Vietnam team started smoothly in the 2026 U23 Asian qualifiers when they won all 2 matches. Coach Kim Sang-sik and his team defeated U23 Bangladesh 2-0 and defeated U23 Singapore 1-0 respectively.
With 6 absolute points, U23 Vietnam temporarily leads Group C, slightly better than the second team in Group U23 Yemen thanks to a goal difference (+3 compared to +2).
This means that the final match against U23 Yemen will be key in determining a place in the final round. In the upper hand, Khuat Van Khang and his teammates only need to get a draw to qualify for the next round.
However, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team cannot be negligent, because U23 Yemen is a team capable of exploding at decisive moments.
In terms of personnel, coach Amin Al Suneini has added attacking power to U23 Yemen by calling up 3 players from the national team including Abdulaziz Masnoum, Qassem Al-Sharafi and Hamza Mahrous. Hamza Mahrous was a key scorer, posing a significant threat in attack.
U23 Yemen is being highly appreciated by regional media for its outstanding physique, fitness foundation and a gameplay with many surprises, which can completely create a coup against U23 Vietnam.
The match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Yemen will take place at 19:00 on September 9 and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
