After 2 draws against U17 Australia and U17 Japan, U17 Vietnam will face U17 UAE in the final match of Group B of the 2025 U17 Asian Cup finals. This is the decisive match for the ticket to the World Cup of coach Cristiano Roland and his team.
Accordingly, the goal of U17 Vietnam is to be one of the top two positions in the group, which means they will be sure to participate in the world playground. At this time, Tran Gia Bao and his teammates are holding the right to decide for themselves.
