Vietnam's national team urgently completes squad formation, ready for decisive match

On March 22, 6 players who completed their duties in the National Cup officially joined the team, helping Vietnam's national team strengthen its forces for the upcoming crucial matches.

Vietnam's national team continues to refine its forces during the FIFA Days training camp in March 2026 when the group of 6 players will officially join the team on March 22. This is considered an important supplement after the initial training days lacked personnel due to the dense schedule of the National Cup and V.League.

Specifically, the group of players joining includes Dang Van Lam, Le Ngoc Bao, Truong Tien Anh, Nguyen Hoang Duc, Pham Gia Hung, and Khuat Van Khang. All have just completed their duties in the quarter-finals of the 2025/26 National Cup and quickly moved to the national team, ready to enter a new training routine.

Previously, during the afternoon training session on March 21 at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center, Coach Kim Sang-sik only had 10 players available. This force mainly consisted of early joiners such as Tran Trung Kien, Nguyen Xuan Son, Nguyen Van Vi, Do Duy Manh, and Pham Tuan Hai, among whom the newcomer Do Hoang Hen received much attention.

The addition of the group of 6 players on March 22 helps the team significantly increase squad depth, especially in key positions such as goalkeeper, central midfield, and wing corridors. This is also the time when Coach Kim Sang-sik begins to refine tactical plans for the important matches ahead.

Not stopping there, the team will continue to receive additional forces from Cong An Hanoi FC on March 23 after the V.League postponed match. Key pillars such as Doan Van Hau, Nguyen Quang Hai, and Nguyen Filip are expected to help the squad framework become more stable and competitive.

According to the plan, Vietnam's national team will have a friendly match with Bangladesh's national team on March 26 at Hang Day Stadium, before hosting Malaysia's national team on March 31 at Thien Truong, in the Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers. With the forces gradually being completed, the team aims to achieve maximum results in both of these important matches.
