Not Park Hang Seo, Philippe Troussier is highly appreciated by the Thai media.

Vietnamese football has had extremely impressive successes in recent years. People often remember the performance in Changzhou under Park Hang-seo or the championship at AFF Cup and SEA Games.

However, before Park Hang-seo came, Vietnamese football had a special feat when the young players first attended the U20 World Cup in 2017- a world-class playground. This is also the new goal set by VFF when in 2026, the World Cup will increase the number of participating teams to 48.
