The Vietnam National Football Team will face Gangwon FC today at 14:00 at Incheon Munhak Stadium in a friendly match. This encounter is part of their preparations ahead of the AFF Cup 2026, which kicks off in two weeks. Coach Kim Sang Sik has been experimenting with different line-ups, having recently secured victories against Siheung FC and Yongin FC.

In the lead-up to the match, the coach has arranged two different formations to assess the players' performances. Notable players such as Dang Van Lam, Nguyen Nhat Minh, and Phan Tuan Tai are expected to feature prominently. The presence of experienced defender Nguyen Thanh Chung and the versatile Tai Loc, who has been integrated into the squad, will provide tactical flexibility for the team.

Gangwon FC, however, may not field their strongest lineup due to fatigue from their recent K.League 1 match against FC Seoul. Despite this, they still have a solid roster, including key players like midfielder Kim Dong Hyun and towering striker Kim Gun Hee. These players will offer valuable competition for the Vietnamese squad as they look to refine their strategies and teamwork.

While the outcome of the match is not the primary focus for Vietnam’s coaching staff, the game will serve as an important opportunity to evaluate the integration of the Brazilian naturalized players and the overall team dynamics. The Vietnam National Team aims to build confidence and cohesion as they prepare for the upcoming AFF Cup.
