The 2026 AFC U20 Championship in Athletics will be held in Hong Kong (China) with the official program from May 28 to June 1.
Today (May 26), the Vietnamese youth athletics team goes to Hong Kong (China) to compete. We present 8 players including: Chau Ngoc Quynh Anh, Thu Huong, Le Thi Thao, Diem Hang, Xuan An, Xuan Son, Tra My and Mai Ngoc Anh.
The coaching staff of the Vietnamese Youth Athletics Team said that the goal set for athletes is to strive to win medals at the tournament.
Last year, the Vietnamese youth athletics team participated in the 2025 Asian Youth Championship (for the U18 age group). At that time, athlete Mai Ngoc Anh participated in the competition and won a silver medal in the women's high jump with a result of 1m69.
This year, Ngoc Anh continues to be the hope of winning medals for the Vietnamese Youth Athletics Team in Hong Kong (China).
This tournament is also the first international program of 2026 that young national athletics players are allowed to participate in.
According to forecasts, leading young athletes in Asia will participate in the competition and this is an opportunity for Vietnamese athletes to accumulate more experience as well as assess the relative level to have more key investments in the future.
The players get acquainted with the competition venue in 2 days before officially competing in Hong Kong (China).
