U23 Vietnam are seeking a strong finish at the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Cup held in Saudi Arabia. The team progressed through the group stage with three consecutive victories and secured their semifinal berth after a 3-2 win over the UAE in the quarterfinals.
This advancement marks the second time in history that Vietnam have reached the AFC U23 Asian Cup semifinals, following their historic run in 2018, where they finished runners up after losing 1-2 to Uzbekistan in the final.
