At 0:30 on April 27, U23 Vietnam will face U23 Iraq in the quarter-finals of the 2024 U23 Asian finals. The team that wins this match will get closer to the official ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The tournament has 3.5 direct spots to attend the Olympics. The fourth-placed team in the tournament will compete for tickets in the play-off round with Guinea (representative from Africa).
In the Iraq U23 match, coach Hoang Anh Tuan still kept the squad structure with defense, including: goalkeeper Quan Van Chuan, trio of midfielders Luong Duy Cuong, Le Nguyen Hoang and Nguyen Manh Hung.
The midfield is still the pair of Nguyen Thai Son and Vo Hoang Minh Khoa supporting Nguyen Van Truong to play quite freely in the role of “virtual striker”.
In attack, U23 Vietnam had a change when Bui Vi Hao started the game instead of Vo Nguyen Hoang.

It seems that coach Hoang Anh Tuan wants to make the most of the breakthrough ability of the striker of B.Binh Duong Club to be able to finish the match in the official 90 minutes.
After 3 group stage matches, Bui Vi Hao had 2 goals and indirectly brought in 1 goal on the penalty spot for his teammates. Best performance U23 Vietnam currently.
Partnering with Bui Vi Hao will be Nguyen Van Tung, a striker who is also in good form and scored 1 goal in the group stage.
