Pre-match information
U17 Vietnam has had quite positive results after the first two matches in Group B of the 2025 U17 Asian Cup finals. Coach Cristiano Roland and his team drew with Australia U17 and Japan U17 with the same score of 1-1.
With this result, U17 Vietnam temporarily ranked 3rd on the rankings, 2 points behind the top team Japan and 1 point behind the second team U17 UAE. However, the "Golden Star Warriors" still have the right to decide whether to participate in the U17 World Cup.
A victory over U17 UAE in the final match of the group stage will help U17 Vietnam complete the goal. Of course, Gia Bao and his teammates do not want to miss this opportunity, especially when another representative of Southeast Asia, U17 Indonesia, has soon had a ticket to the world playground.
However, this is not an easy challenge for the young players, because the West Asian team is also very determined in this match. U17 Vietnam will have to change the approach to the match, choose the right attack to score, instead of playing defensive counter-attacking and waiting for opportunities like when meeting Australia or Japan.
U17 Vietnam will stand first in Group B if winning U17 UAE with 3 goals, plus U17 Japan drew or lost to U17 Australia. Or, U17 Vietnam ranks second if not winning U17 UAE with 3 or more goals and U17 Japan does not lose to U17 Australia.
In case of a draw or loss to U17 UAE, Cristiano Roland and his team will say goodbye to the World Cup dream.
