Vietnam’s U17 team drew 3–3 with Hà Nội U19 in a training match on October 9 at the Vietnam Youth Football Training Centre, SGGP reports. Coach Cristiano Roland gave all players time on the pitch to assess form, tactical adaptation and coordination. Facing an older opponent provided a test of physical contests and transitions. The result forms part of the team’s preparations for the U17 World Cup and is a practice-match outcome, rather than a result from the tournament itself.
