TheVietnam national under-23 and Olympic football team (Vietnamese:Đội tuyển Bóng đá U-23 và Olympic Quốc gia Việt Nam) representsVietnam in international football tournaments at the under-22 and under-23 age level.
The team is considered to be the feeder team for theVietnam national football team. During the2005 Southeast Asian Games in thePhilippines, a betting and match-fixing scandal involving the team captainLê Quốc Vượng shocked the team reputation.[2] The scandal destroyed several of the team players careers, including strikerPhạm Văn Quyến and shattered Vietnamese public image towards the youth team to which many of their football fans stay away from the sport with the number of stadium attendance also decrease dramatically.[2][3]
In 2007, theHoàng Anh Gia Lai – Arsenal JMG Academy was established through partnership withArsenal F.C.,JMG Academy and the Vietnamese privately ownedHoàng Anh Gia Lai Corporation to revive the Vietnamese youth football.[4] Through training of the Vietnamese youth players in the academy, this subsequently produced many new talented players which become part of the new generation of the under-23 squad.[5]
Under Japanese coachToshiya Miura, Vietnam made their debut in this tournament having qualified from theAFC U-23 qualification in 2016. Positioned in Group I in the qualifiers, Vietnam claimed their first victory overMalaysia by 2–1, though losing toJapan by 0–2 in the next match. The team managed to gain a large victory overMacau by 7–0 in their last group match, and subsequently became the group runners-up. The team then placed inGroup D, where they lost 1–3 toJordan, 0–2 toAustralia, and 2–3 toUnited Arab Emirates.
The team made their second entry in this tournament under South Korean coachPark Hang-seo having qualified from theAFC U-23 qualification in 2018. Drawn again in Group I in the qualifiers, the team started their first match with a 4–0 victory overTimor-Leste before accomplishing a great win of 8–1 over Macau. Although they lost toSouth Korea by 1–2 in the third group match, Vietnam qualified to the AFC U-23 Championship as the Group I runners-up. The team then placed again inGroup D. Although they lost again to South Korea by 1–2, the team bounced back and defeated Australia by 1–0 before drawing 0–0 withSyria. The team became the group runners-up and subsequently became the firstSoutheast Asian team, alongside Malaysia, who were able to qualify into the quarter finals for the first time in the tournament as well in both teams' history.[7][8] At the quarter finals, Vietnam managed to lead the match into additional time with a draw score of 3–3 against former championIraq, before winning thepenalty shoot-out by 5–3, sending the team to semi-finals.[9] The team then metQatar with the match ending in another draw of 2–2 where they won the match with their second penalty shoot-out of the tournament by 4–3, resulting in the team being the first Southeast Asian football team in history to go to the finals in the competition's history and for the first time ever Vietnam had participated in the final of an AFC competition.[10][11] At the finals, Vietnam lost toUzbekistan by 1–2, claiming second place.[12][13] Despite Vietnam's failure to win the tournament, this was hailed as a historic achievement for Vietnam and the team received national wide welcome after returning from China and subsequently honored by the state for its historic performance.[14]
Vietnam tried to run for the race to host the competition, but was eventually beaten by Thailand over the hosting rights. Thus, Vietnam had to take part on the2020 AFC U-23 Championship qualification where Vietnam was seeded together withThailand,Indonesia andBrunei, Thailand officially qualified regardless of results. Even though being seeded in a tough group, Vietnam went on to overcome both opponents with over 11 goals scored and conceded none, topping the group with a perfect fashion including the famed 4–0 win over Thailand. In the main stage which served as the qualification for the2020 Summer Olympics, Vietnam was again seeded into group D where they would once again reunite with Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, alongsideNorth Korea.[15] They had two 0-0 draws over United Arab Emirates and Jordan, before lose to North Korea by 1-2 and being eliminated by finished last place in the group.
In the2018 Asian Games, Vietnam made another remarkable achievement under the guidance of coach Park as they qualified to the semi-finals for the first time in their history with aclean sheet.[17][18] Drawn in Group D, the team beatPakistan by 3–0,Nepal by 2–0, and former champion Japan by 1–0 to lead the group.[19] In the second round, Vietnam then metBahrain and defeated them by 1–0 before defeating Syria 1–0 in the quarter-finals in a match that went toovertime.[20][21] At the semi-finals, Vietnam met the defending champion South Korea, led by their2018 FIFA World Cup players such as pair strikersSon Heung-min,Hwang Hee-chan and their goalkeeperJo Hyeon-woo, where they failed to continue their path to the finals after losing by 1–3.[22][23] The team then metUnited Arab Emirates for the bronze medal match. The score remained 1–1 after extra time, and they ended up losing the penalty shoot-out 3–4.[24][25]
The victory in the 2019 football edition of theSoutheast Asian Games is considered as the country first ever SEA Games men's football title since theVietnamese reunification, having won the first edition of the1959 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games throughSouth Vietnam.[27][28] In the 2019 edition, Vietnam opened their campaign inGroup B with a large victory overBrunei by 6–0 as well asLaos by 6–1 before defeatingIndonesia andSingapore through a slim win by 2–1 and 1–0 respectively. In their last match in the group, Vietnam able to drawn itself by 2–2 against long-time SEA Games men's dominating championThailand after being left by two goals in the earlier minutes. After successfully securing themselves in the top group standings, they then meet the rising team ofCambodia in the semi-finals and defeat them with a large win of 4–0 before meeting Indonesia again in the final and defeat them by 3–0 to secure the title after 60 years long-waited.[29][30][31]
Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Seagames hosted by Vietnam, were postponed to 2022. Playing in front of their home fans, Vietnam would successfully defend their Seagames title, as coachPark Hang-seo in his last tournament for the u23/Olympic team, led the nation to their 2nd straight gold medal. Vietnam began their campaign in the 31st Seagames with a comfortable 3–0 win overIndonesia. However, they failed to breakthrough in the second match, as Vietnam were held to a draw against thePhilippines by a score of 0-0. Vietnam was bounce back and win both their last group matches againstMyanmar andTimor-Leste to advance to the knockout stage. Vietnam was also narrowly defeatMalaysia in a thrilling semi-final match that went to extra time, to advance to the Final. Facing their biggest rivalsThailand, an 83rd-minute winner byNhâm Mạnh Dũng erupted theMỹ Đình National Stadium in cheers as Vietnam won back to back gold medals in the Seagames football tournament. Vietnam ended their final match with 0 goal conceded, a SEA Games record, before coachPark Hang-seo exit the Under 23/Olympic team.
