Two former players Pham Thanh Luong and Do Thi Ngoc Cham played the role of two main characters, doing the drawing task at the event.

In futsal, due to the small number of teams competing, only the schedule is drawn. Women’s futsal was drawn first. This subject only includes 5 teams including Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar. Men’s futsal has 5 teams including Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar, without dividing the table but drawing the order of competition.

In the 31st SEA Games women’s football content, the Vietnamese women’s team will fall into Group A including the Philippines, Cambodia and Indonesia, playing in Hung Yen and Quang Ninh from May 9 to 21.

Former player Thanh Luong accepted the responsibility of drawing for men’s football. U23 Vietnam does not have to face Thailand U23 in Group B but will be with Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar and Timor Leste in Group A.

At the 30th SEA Games when the U23 Vietnam team won the gold medal of the Southeast Asian Games for the first time, we defeated the Indonesian U23 with a convincing score of 3-0 to win the title. In the group stage of the 2019 SEA Games, Vietnam also overcame the opponent with a score of 2-1.

It is worth mentioning that in the upcoming SEA Games, U23 Vietnam will clash with Indonesia in the opening match. This is a great pressure, but former player Thanh Luong thinks differently: “Obviously it is advantageous to meet Indonesia in the first match so that we can find out the true strength of the opponent”.

Thanh Luong still rates Thailand U23 slightly better than Indonesia U23: “Clearly Thailand is Vietnam’s main rival. But Indonesia is also a formidable opponent, because many of their national players are wearing the U23 shirt. Playing at home brings great motivation, U23 Vietnam has the advantage but also a lot of pressure.”

The amount of “weird” comments about the level of teams at the 31st SEA Games men’s football: “In my opinion, the level of football teams has narrowed significantly. Each team has prepared well for the SEA Games. The team all have the same advantage and opportunity. We have the home field advantage, hope the players play well.”

Men’s football will take place from May 6 to May 22 at the stadium including My Dinh (Hanoi), Viet Tri and Thien Truong (Nam Dinh), in which Group A matches with U23 Vietnam will be played.
