Quarterfinals schedule of the U23 Asian Championship: When will U23 Vietnam play?

Eight teams participating in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Asian U23 Championship include Qatar, Indonesia (group A), Korea, Japan (group B), Iraq, Saudi Arabia (group C), Uzbekistan and Vietnam (group D).

Among the teams that passed the group stage of the U23 Asian Championship, U23 Indonesia is considered the “dark horse” of the tournament.

Southeast Asian football representatives advanced to the quarterfinals in their first appearance at this playground. Therefore, U23 Indonesia is also the team with the worst performance among the talents present in the quarterfinals.

Specifically, among the 8 teams mentioned above, there are 5 teams that were crowned champions of the U23 Asian Championship: U23 Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Uzbekistan. The two U23 teams Vietnam and Qatar are not bad either, with the best results being runner-up and third place respectively.

The matches in the quarterfinals are Qatar – Japan (9:00 p.m., April 25), South Korea – Indonesia (0:30 a.m., April 26), Uzbekistan – Saudi Arabia (9:00 p.m., April 26), and Iraq – Vietnam South (0:30 a.m. April 27).

In the quarterfinals, there are two evenly matched pairs, host Qatar meets Japan and Uzebkistan faces Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, the match between Korea and Indonesia is considered to be lopsided.

However, U23 Korea must be very careful if they do not want to pay a high price. The remaining match U23 Iraq is slightly better than Vietnam, but the opportunity is still open for coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team.
