Head coach Dinh The Nam decided to bring along 27 players, including the 23 players on the officially registered list and four players as a backup plan in case of COVID-19 infection.
Meeting with the team ahead of their departure, acting President of the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) Tran Quoc Tuan hailed the regional tournament as a good opportunity for the players to accumulate experience and improve their capabilities.
