Coach Anthony Hudson observed Thailand's training session this afternoon, 17/12, before the men's football final at SEA Games 33.

The two semifinal matches were confirmed after defending champion Indonesia was eliminated despite a 3-1 victory over Myanmar in the final group C match of the men's football event at SEA Games 33, on the evening of 12/12.

Midfielder Nguyen Thai Quoc Cuong states Vietnam's goal is to defeat Malaysia in the final match of group B men's football at SEA Games 33.

Vietnam's U22 coaching staff adjusted the training schedule to the morning, allowing the entire squad to attend the Malaysia versus Laos match at 4 PM on 6/12.

Vietnam will be without Nguyen Dinh Bac and Pham Minh Phuc for their opening SEA Games 33 match due to scheduling conflicts with CAHN Club.

While player trials are Vietnam's primary focus, defeating South Korea and winning the U22 Panda Cup friendly tournament would provide perfect momentum for the SEA Games 33.
