The Vietnamese Olympic team accepted the invitation to go to China to compete

"The Vietnamese Olympic team, led by coach Philippe Troussier, will go to Sichuan to attend the Panda Cup in mid-June. It is also expected that Uzbekistan and Bahrain will also participate in this quadruple tournament," a VFF leader told MetaSports this afternoon. .

China is the host of Asiad 2022, but due to Covid-19 the tournament was moved to September 2023. To prepare for this tournament, the Chinese Olympic team will go to Croatia for long-term training. Upon their return, they will compete in the Panda Cup to gauge their progress.

At Asiad 2018, Vietnam made a big splash. Coach Park Hang-seo's army then defeated Japan to top Group D. The team then defeated Bahrain and Syria with the same score of 1-0 in the next two knockout rounds. Vietnam only lost 1-3 in the semi-finals to Korea - the team then won the gold medal. In the bronze medal match, Mr. Park's teachers and students lost to the UAE 3-4 in the penalty shootout, after drawing 1-1 at official time.

At Asiad 2022, the Vietnamese Olympic Games will compete under coach Troussier. Due to a one-year delay, the Organizing Committee decided to increase the player age limit to 24. This means that players born on January 1, 1999 such as Doan Van Hau, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Nham Manh Dung can still participate in the tournament.
