The Vietnam U17 team will enter the journey at the 2026 Southeast Asian U17 Championship with a schedule considered quite heavy right from the group stage, when they have to compete directly with strong opponents in the region.
According to the group stage results, U17 Vietnam is in Group A with U17 Indonesia, U17 Malaysia and U17 Timor-Leste. This is considered a highly competitive group with the participation of the host team U17 Indonesia and U17 Malaysia - two rivals with a long-standing relationship with Vietnamese youth football in the region.
According to the schedule, coach Cristiano Roland and his team will start the campaign with a clash with U17 Malaysia on April 13. This is a match that is predicted to be of great significance for the Vietnamese representative's chances of advancing.
In this year's tournament, only the top three teams in each group and a second-placed team with the best results will qualify for the semi-finals. Therefore, each match in the group stage is decisive for the teams' chances of going deep.
The match between U17 Vietnam and U17 Malaysia will be broadcast live on TV360.
