In the starting lineup against Cambodia, Nguyen Quang Hai and Nguyen Dinh Bac have been chosen to start in the last group match of the Vietnamese national team at the 2026 ASEAN Cup.
Patrik Le Giang continues to guard the goal, while the three central defenders are Pham Xuan Manh, Nguyen Thanh Chung, and Bui Hoang Viet Anh. This defensive line offers a balance between experience, physicality, and the ability to build play from the back.
On the flanks, Nguyen Van Vi and Truong Tien Anh are again given the nod. Both possess pace, strong stamina, and can function as wingers when Vietnam is in possession.
The midfield remains a partnership of Nguyen Hoang Duc and Le Pham Thanh Long, with the latter playing the deepest role. With Thanh Long's inclusion, Vietnam's midfield will be significantly strengthened, just as in the victory over Indonesia.

Up front, Nguyen Dinh Bac is selected to lead the line, promising to cause trouble for the opposing defense with his speed and dribbling. On the two wings will be Quang Hai and Hai Long.
