Do Hung Dung, Team Captain
Although there is no longer a chance to keep going in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, the match against Japan on March 29 is still a meaningful match for the Vietnam team. Playing against a top Asian team like Japan will definitely help us gain more valuable experiences. This is also the last match in our first time participating in the third qualifying round of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. So we will do our best and hope to have a good memory at Saitama Stadium.
Mr. Doan Anh Tuan, Team manager
