U23 Vietnam received very good news before the final match of U23 Southeast Asia 2025

Accordingly, striker Nguyen Quoc Viet did not suffer a serious injury. This player still practiced normally with his teammates, preparing for the final match at 8:00 p.m. on July 29 at Bung Karno Stadium (Indonesia).

Quoc Viet was injured at the end of the semi-final match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Philippines on July 25. At that time, coach Kim Sang Sik said that the striker, who is playing for Ninh Binh Club, was injured in his ankle.

However, at the re-examination yesterday (July 26), Nguyen Quoc Viet only suffered a soft tissue injury, he is still physically fit enough to compete in the final match two days later, if he is placed under a reasonable training and rest regimen.

In addition to Quoc Viet, another striker of U23 Vietnam, Nguyen Dinh Bac, will also be fit enough to play in the final match. Dinh Bac showed signs of being overloaded in the semi-final match against U23 Philippines and had to leave the field midway through.

However, the player will be fully recovered after having 3 days of rest, from after the semi-final to before the final.

This is very good news for the Vietnam U23 team. With Quoc Viet and Dinh Bac ready to play, coach Kim Sang Sik's team will have the best squad, preparing for the decisive match against Indonesia U23, at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (Jakarta, Indonesia).

If U23 Vietnam defeats U23 Indonesia on July 29, we will have a hat-trick of 3 consecutive U23 Southeast Asian championships. This will be a very difficult record to break for youth football in the region.
