Leading the way are the striker pair Nguyen Xuan Son and Nguyen Tien Linh of the Vietnamese team in the 4-4-2 formation announced by the AFF Cup organizing committee. The remaining players included are Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Hai Long in midfield.

In defense are central defenders Bui Tien Dung and Bui Hoang Viet Anh. In goal is none other than goalkeeper Nguyen Dinh Trieu.

Only two Thai players are in the AFF Cup 2024 best squad: defender Nicholas Mickelson and center-back Pansa Hemviboon. The Philippines and Singapore teams each contribute one player, midfielder Sandro Reyes and Kyoga Nakamura, respectively.

This is considered a very reasonable choice, when the Vietnamese team had a very convincing journey to compete and win the AFF Cup 2024 championship, with a total of 7 wins and only 1 draw. Scoring a total of 21 goals, only conceding 6 goals.

Especially from the semi-finals and finals, the Vietnamese team won both matches against Singapore and Thailand to win the regional championship for the third time.

Naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son won the title of best player of the tournament and was the top scorer with 7 goals. Meanwhile, striker Tien Linh also contributed 4 goals. Quang Hai contributed 2 goals, while Hai Long was the player who scored the decisive goal 3-2 for the Vietnamese team in the 90+20 minute of the second leg final on January 5, with a shot from the middle of the field that slowly rolled into the net while Thai defenders rushed forward to block it in vain.

In defense, center back Bui Tien Dung and goalkeeper Dinh Trieu are solid walls that help the Vietnamese team become the team with the best defense at the AFF Cup 2024.

The AFF Cup 2024 best squad was selected based on the results of readers' votes on the tournament's homepage from January 6 to January 16.
