HÀ NỘI — Coach Park Hang-seo has announced his squad of 25 players for the AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2022.

The South Korean coach has put his faith in three new faces, Khuất Văn Khang, Hải Huy and Châu Ngọc Quang.

The goalkeepers in the team are trio Đặng Văn Lâm, Trần Nguyên Mạnh, and Nguyễn Toản.

The Vietnamese squad also features many popular names who are crucial to the team in both defence and attack. Familiar faces in the line-up include Bùi Tiến Dũng, Bùi Hoàng Việt Anh, Quế Ngọc Hải, Nguyễn Quang Hải and Phan Văn Đức.

Strikers Nguyễn Văn Quyết, Phạm Tuấn Hải, Nguyễn Văn Toàn and Nguyễn Tiến Linh are expected to shine to help the Vietnamese team gain their goal of winning the title.

Four players who have missed out on selection are goalkeeper Nguyễn Văn Hoàng, defender Nguyễn Thanh Nhân, striker Hà Đức Chinh and Phạm Đình Duy.

Previously, midfielder Nguyễn Trọng Hoàng asked to withdraw from the team to treat his herniated disc.
