Coach Kim Sang Sik Fields Strong Lineup Against Bangladesh.

At 4:30 PM yesterday, the Vietnam national team had a training session at Hang Day Stadium, preparing for the friendly match against Bangladesh at 7:00 PM today.

Currently, all 23 players of the Vietnam national team are confident and in peak physical condition.

Given the friendly nature, the match against Bangladesh is an opportunity for Coach Kim Sang Sik to experiment and adjust positions.

Naturalized striker Xuan Son is likely to pair with Hoang Hen in the attack. He has recovered from a thigh injury and is in excellent condition.

For Bangladesh, attention is focused on Hamza Choudhury, a player currently in the English Championship with Leicester City.

Hamza Choudhury is currently the most prominent player from Bangladesh. The midfielder, born in 1997, has an English father and a Bangladeshi mother. He was born in England, played for the country's U21 team, and expressed his desire to compete for a spot in the national team.

By February 2024, Choudhury switched to representing Bangladesh, obtaining a passport six months later. This midfielder debuted in a 0-0 draw against India in the final Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers in March 2025. So far, he has scored 4 goals in 7 matches.

Coach Dinh Hong Vinh praises Vietnam U23.

Coach Dinh Hong Vinh praises the effort of Vietnam U23 players despite losing the win against North Korea U23 in the opening match of CFA Team China - Xi'an 2026.

"We started with a very determined spirit. Although the main composition is U21 players, the whole team followed the tactics well and controlled the game from the early minutes."

Minh Tam's goal was very significant, not only showing the confidence and courage of a young player but also giving the team a major psychological advantage against a strong opponent. It was the result of collective coordination and sharpness in the penalty area.

After the first round, China U23 and Thailand U23 temporarily share the top spot with 1 point and 2 goals. Vietnam U23 and North Korea U23 also have 1 point, ranking second.

At 2:00 PM on March 28, Vietnam U23 faces its Southeast Asian rival Thailand U23, while in the subsequent match, China U23 meets North Korea U23.
