The Vietnam futsal team will face Russia at 18:00 on August 1 in their opening match of the Intercontinental Championship Friendly – Thailand 2026. This is considered a big challenge for coach Diego Raul Giustozzi's team as Russia has a developed futsal background, well-balanced squad, and many experienced players.

The Vietnam futsal team enters the tournament with relatively limited preparation time. After the HDBank National Futsal Championship 2026 concluded, the team only had four official training sessions. The coaching staff mainly focused on perfecting individual tactics, preparing match psychology, and adjusting some details in team operation.

On the other hand, the Russian futsal team is led by Georgian coach Beso Zoidze, who has worked at many top clubs such as Spartak Moscow and MFC KPRF. The European representative brings to Thailand a squad of three goalkeepers and 15 players, highly regarded for their physique, speed, and tactical organization.

Although not under too much pressure for results in a friendly tournament, the Vietnam futsal team still needs to show initiative, solid defense, and effectiveness in transition situations. The match against Russia is an important opportunity for coach Diego Raul Giustozzi to test the squad, evaluate new players, and complete the framework towards upcoming international goals.
