The Vietnam team spent a week of training in Binh Duong during the FIFA Days in March 2025. Coach Kim Sang-sik's team has many changes in personnel for different reasons.
Accordingly, Nguyen Filip and Bui Hoang Viet Anh soon parted ways with the national team. This forced the Korean strategist to call up additional goalkeeper Tran Trung Kien (born from U22 Vietnam) and goalkeeper Trinh Xuan Hoang (Thanh Hoa FC).
Some other players such as Quang Hai, Tien Linh and Hai Long showed signs of muscle overload, but recovered well to return to practice with their teammates.
According to the match schedule, the Vietnam team will have a friendly match against the Cambodia team at Binh Duong Stadium on March 19. This is considered a quality test for coach Kim Sang-sik to make adjustments to personnel and playing style in accordance with the current situation.
After 6 days, Quang Hai and his teammates will enter the first match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers against Laos, taking place on March 25.
Vietnam team's match schedule:
19:30 on March 19: Vietnam - Cambodia team (friendly)
19:30 on March 25: Vietnam - Laos (Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers)
