History

Early years and downfall

Main article: 2005 Vietnamese football match-fixing scandal

The team is considered to be the feeder team for the Vietnam national football team, with its successes and performance are usually consistent and closely associated with its senior counterpart. The under-23 team played their first unofficial matches in the 1997 Independence Cup, and played their first official match against Indonesia on 26 April 1999. The Vietnamese football team did not enjoy relative success until 2003, when they came second in that year's Southeast Asian Games as hosts.

During the 2005 Southeast Asian Games in the Philippines, a betting and match-fixing scandal involving the team captain Lê Quốc Vượng shocked the team reputation.[2] The scandal destroyed the careers of several players on the squad, including striker Phạm Văn Quyến and shattered Vietnamese public image towards the youth team, making many of their football fans stay away from the sport along with the a dramatic decrease in attendance for matches.[2][3]

Youth redevelopment and revival

In 2007, the Hoàng Anh Gia Lai – Arsenal JMG Academy was established through a partnership with Arsenal F.C., JMG Academy and the Vietnamese privately owned Hoàng Anh Gia Lai Corporation to revive the Vietnamese youth football.[4] Through training of the Vietnamese youth players in the academy, this subsequently produced many new talented players which became part of the new generation of under-23s.[5]

However, the redevelopment program wouldn't bring immediate success. Although Vietnam was able to produce some surprising performances in tournaments, such as reaching the round of 16 in the 2014 Asian Games, the team generally failed to deliver the expected regional dominance, most notably coming second in the 2009 Southeast Asian Games as favorites to win the tournament and only finishing third in the 2015 Southeast Asian Games with an extremely talented squad. The greatest disappointment came in the 2017 Southeast Asian Games, when Vietnam were eliminated in the group stage despite the squad being regarded as the most talented squad since the revival period, containing many players who had participated in the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Positioned in Group I in the qualifiers, Vietnam claimed their first victory over Malaysia by beating them 2–1, though they would lose 0–2 to Japan afterwards but managed to bounce back with a 7–0 win over Macau in their last group match, and became the group runners-up. The team was then placed in Group D, where they lost 1–3 to Jordan, 0–2 to Australia, and 2–3 to United Arab Emirates.

Although they lost to South Korea by 1–2 in the third group match, Vietnam qualified to the AFC U-23 Championship as the Group I runners-up. The team then placed again in Group D. Although they lost again to South Korea by 1–2, the team bounced back and defeated Australia by 1–0 before drawing 0–0 with Syria. The team became the group runners-up and subsequently became the first Southeast Asian team, alongside Malaysia, who were able to qualify into the quarter finals for the first time in the tournament as well in both teams' history.[7][8] At the quarter finals, Vietnam managed to lead the match into additional time with a draw score of 3–3 against former champion Iraq, before winning the penalty shoot-out by 5–3, sending the team to semi-finals.[9] The team then met Qatar with the match ending in another draw of 2–2 where they won the match with their second penalty shoot-out of the tournament by 4–3, resulting in the team being the first Southeast Asian football team in history to go to the finals in the competition's history and for the first time ever Vietnam had participated in the final of an AFC competition.[10][11] At the finals, Vietnam lost to Uzbekistan by 1–2, claiming second place.[12][13] Despite Vietnam's failure to win the tournament, this was hailed as a historic achievement for Vietnam and the team received national wide welcome after returning from China and subsequently honored by the state for its historic performance.[14]

Even though being seeded in a tough group, Vietnam went on to overcome both opponents with over 11 goals scored and conceded none, topping the group with a perfect fashion including the famed 4–0 win over Thailand.

Vietnam played their first match against rivals Thailand; despite taking the lead twice, Vietnam was forced to share a point with Thailand.
