In addition, the team also recorded the return from injury of midfielder Doan Ngoc Tan (Thanh Hoa) and defender Phan Tuan Tai (The Cong Viettel ). Because coach Kim Sang-sik was busy leading the U.23 Vietnam team to compete in the 2026 U.23 Asian qualifiers at the same time, the coaching of the Vietnam team was assigned to acting head coach Dinh Hong Vinh.

It is expected that during the training period at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Center, the Vietnam team will have two practice matches with Hanoi Police Club (September 4) and Nam Dinh Club (September 7).

With a squad of many talented players, especially high-quality foreign players, these will be two ideal "blue troops" for the tests of the Vietnamese team.
