Former Vietnam U-23 national team coach Hoang Anh Tuan assessed
U-23 Indonesian National Team
is the toughest opponent at the 2025 SEA Games, surpassing the strength of host Thailand.
To Bongda, Anh Tuan predicted that the Indonesian U-23 national team would be the toughest opponent for coach Kim Sang Sik and his team in the race for the gold medal compared to Thailand.
“Tuan explained that Indonesian youth football has developed very well recently, after repeatedly beating Vietnam at U-17 and U-19 levels,” wrote Bongda’s report.

“However, Sir also emphasized that when they enter the U-23 level, Vietnam will be able to overcome this opponent completely, if the players are able to highlight their strengths better.”
Tuan did not deny that host status was one of Thailand’s superior factors.However, Thailand’s strength is not in the best condition because several Thai League clubs refuse to release their players.
Things were different for Vietnam, which received absolute support from the domestic league.The competition was deliberately postponed to ensure Kim Sang Sik could summon his best players.
Meanwhile, Malaysia U-22 is considered to be experiencing a serious crisis.There is a shortage of the best players because clubs are also reluctant to let go of clubs.Among them is the naturalized striker who plays in Sabah, Fergus Tierney.
This situation means that Malaysia will have difficulty stopping Vietnam from qualifying for the preliminary round of Group B. Apart from meeting Malaysia, Vietnam will also be challenged by Laos.
