The Vietnam Football Association (VFA) has confirmed a friendly match with the Chinese men's soccer team in October, while inviting Uzbekistan to participate, sources said. The match will reportedly take place on September 25, Beijing time. The national team's two warm-up matches in October have now been officially confirmed. They will play against Vietnam and Uzbekistan respectively, which will be the most important matches before the national team prepares for the world qualifiers and the Asian Cup.
The Vietnamese side confirmed that the Chinese Football Association (CFA) has officially sent a letter of announcement to the Vietnam Football Association (VFA) to inform the two teams of their plans for the warm-up matches in October. In fact, the two football associations have already reached an agreement on the warm-up match, so the CFA has sent an announcement letter this time, which is equivalent to officially confirming the match arrangement, according to Vietnamese media. According to Vietnam, the match will be held on October 10 and the exact venue will be announced.
In addition to Vietnam, Uzbekistan is also taking part in the national soccer team's warm-up matches in October. Vietnam will play the national soccer team on October 10 and then Uzbekistan on October 13, and the match between the Chinese national soccer team and Uzbekistan should be held before that, according to Vietnamese media.
For the national soccer team, Vietnam and Uzbekistan are two powerful opponents. If they can perform well against these two opponents, then the national soccer team will be more confident to meet the challenges of the World Qualifier and the Asian Cup. Of course, if they perform poorly, the team's morale will inevitably take a big hit. This is especially true of the match against Vietnam, the year when Vietnam inflicted one of the most humiliating losses in the history of the Chinese national soccer team, a pain that even revolutionized some aspects of Chinese soccer. Now, the Chinese national soccer team has the best chance to get back at Vietnam at home.
