The U23 Vietnam vs U23 Thailand match in the CFA Team China 2026 international friendly tournament takes place at 14:00 on March 28 in Xi'an (China). VTV will not broadcast this match live. Thethaovanhoa.vn will continuously update information on the match developments.
The match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Thailand in the second round of the group stage is attracting significant attention, not only due to regional competitiveness but also because of what both teams demonstrated on their opening day. With the group standings still open for all four teams, this encounter holds crucial importance in the race for the top position.
U23 Vietnam enters the match with a 1-1 draw against U23 North Korea as their previous result. That was a match where the players under interim coach Đinh Hồng Vinh displayed two distinct phases. In the first half, the team played confidently, controlled well, and executed clear ball movement, scoring an early opening goal. However, a decline in physical fitness and increased pressure from the opponent caused U23 Vietnam to gradually lose control of the match after the break, thereby missing out on a victory.

Nevertheless, this performance still offers many positive signals. The competitive spirit, confidence of the young players, and ability to organize gameplay serve as a foundation for U23 Vietnam to aim for better results. Players like Công Phương and Lê Văn Thuận show dynamism, while the defense, led by goalkeeper Cao Văn Bình, provides some reassurance.
On the opposite side, U23 Thailand impressed strongly with their attacking capability in a 2-2 draw against U23 China. The representative from the Land of Golden Temples demonstrated sharpness with fast-paced attacks, effectively exploiting gaps, and even led by two goals. Their flexible tactical scheme operation helped create many clear opportunities.
However, U23 Thailand also revealed certain limitations, particularly in maintaining stability. When opponents increased pressure, they easily fell into a state of losing control, especially amid declining physical fitness and personnel disruptions in the defense. This is an area U23 Vietnam could exploit if they seize the opportunity.
Considering the comparison, U23 Vietnam holds a slight edge in discipline and organization, while U23 Thailand possesses a style rich in speed and unpredictability. Therefore, the match is likely to be closely contested yet open. If they can improve defensive capability and maintain focus throughout, U23 Vietnam can certainly aim for a positive result against this regional rival with whom they share a long history.
