Kim Sang-sik Wary of Indonesia and Thailand in ASEAN Cup U-23

Vietnam U-23 national team coach Kim Sang-sik has shared his perspective on the ASEAN Cup U-23 2025 competition — identifying Indonesia and Thailand as the most challenging opponents for his team.

The young Golden Stars Warriors are placed in Group B alongside two other Southeast Asian teams:

  • Cambodia
  • Laos

This biennial tournament will take place at two venues — the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium in Jakarta and the Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium in Bekasi.

Kim Sang-sik, who also manages Vietnam’s senior team, predicts the real challenges will begin in the knockout stages, particularly the semifinals — where his team could potentially face Indonesia or Thailand.
