Captain Khuất Văn Khang of the Vietnam U23 team is attending the AFC U23 Championship finals for the third consecutive time, giving him a very special feeling that differs from his teammates.

The player from Thể Công Viettel club shared: "This is my third time participating in the AFC U23 Championship finals. Before this tournament, the whole team and I had a successful year by winning the SEA Games title. That achievement is a huge motivation for me and the entire squad to approach the upcoming competition with greater confidence and stronger determination.

At the 2026 AFC U23 Championship finals, many players on the Vietnam U23 team are making their debut. Watching them reminds me of myself three years ago, also entering the continental stage for the first time. This is a top-level tournament that will definitely bring many special feelings and is an opportunity for each player to prove themselves.
