According to the plan of the Vietnam Football Federation, this gathering is aimed at reviewing and evaluating the force and creating opportunities for young players to show their abilities before entering the in-depth preparation phase for upcoming international goals.
The summoned list gathers many faces who have played for national youth teams such as U16, U17 and U18 Vietnam. Some notable players include Nguyen Duc Nhat, Le Minh Nhat, Bach Trong Duong, Nguyen Van Quan, Nguyen Thien Phu, Nguyen Hoang Nam and Dinh Xuan Khai. These are all players who have accumulated international competition experience at the youth level and are expected to play a core role in the U19 Vietnam team in the near future.
In this list, goalkeeper Nguyen Ba Nhat Ka is a name that attracts attention. The player with a height of 1.96 m is currently playing for Ryukei University Club (Japan). Previously, Nhat Ka participated in training with the Vietnam U20 team during the team's training period in Japan in 2024 to prepare for the 2025 AFC U20 Championship qualifiers.
In addition, striker Antonio Moric (NK Trnje Club, Croatia) also received attention. The player born in 2008 has Vietnamese and Croatian blood, is 1.81 m tall and has versatile ability. Moric can play the role of central midfielder, and also play well on both wings in attack. The flexibility in his playing style helps this young player adapt to many different tactical systems. Although young, Moric has made several appearances for the first team of NK Trnje.
According to the plan, the Vietnam U19 team will train from March 17 to March 29 at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center. After about a week of training, the coaching staff led by coach Yutaka Ikeuchi will conduct force screening, expected to streamline from 10 to 15 players, and at the same time summon about 10 other players outside the initial list.
The personnel adjustment is expected to create competition in the squad, thereby helping the coaching staff comprehensively assess the force to select the most suitable factors for the important tournaments of U19 Vietnam in the coming time.
