Vietnam's national-team planning should take account of FIFA windows, player workloads and coordination with clubs, experts told VnExpress. Bae Ji-won and Doan Minh Xuong discussed the need for effective training camps and protection of players' fitness. Xuong suggested that an ASEAN Cup squad could combine under-23 players with selected experienced footballers. The discussion concerns how Vietnam might balance regional competitions with other international commitments. These are expert recommendations, rather than an official VFF selection policy or a confirmed squad for the next tournament.
