Pre-match information

In the opening match, the Vietnamese futsal team will face Timor Leste. Timor Leste has been actively participating in tournaments since 2013 but their level has not improved. This team is participating in the Southeast Asian Championship with the goal of gaining experience, so the Vietnamese futsal team needs to take advantage of the opportunity to have their first victory.
Besides experienced players like Ho Van Y, Pham Duc Hoa, Tran Thai Huy, coach Diego Giustozzi has also renewed the Vietnamese futsal team with many young players who are capable of creating breakthroughs.
Facing a Timor Leste futsal team that is rated very low, the goal of Ho Van Y and his teammates will be a victory, creating momentum for the next matches.
