Hanoi (VNA) –
Korean coach Park Hang-seo has finalised a list of Vietnamese U22
players who will compete with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in a friendly match
on October 13.
The team includes three
goalkeepers, eight defenders, seven midfielders and five strikers.
The Vietnamese team will
leave for Ho Chi Minh City on October 10 to prepare for the match at Thong Nhat
Stadium.
The match is seen as
good preparation ahead of the 30th Southeast Asian Games next
month as well as the Asian U23 Championship early next year.
Vietnam and the UAE
have planned for the friendly match for months prior to the continental
tournament. But a draw last month placed them in Group D together with the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Jordan. However, both sides still decided
to play the match as scheduled./.
