(VOV) – U19 Vietnam will have a six-month long training course at Arsenal FC to prepare for the U19 Asian Football Championship 2014 in Myanmar.



Manager Doan Nguyen Duc of Hoang Anh Gia Lai FC that houses Arsenal-style HAGL JMG football academy contacted Arsenal FC for support, and the English Premiership FC had accepted the request.


The squad will leave for Arsenal after enjoying the traditional lunar New Year (Tet) festival under the guidance of French expert Guilleme Graechen.


Graechen led the squad to a 5-1 historic victory over their Australian opponents at a Group F qualifying match.

Young Vietnamese players will have the chance to train at a European sport centre equipped with modern facilities and play friendlies with others from Arsenal’s training centres across the globe.


After the training, U19 Vietnam players will return home and participate in an international friendly tournament which will include representatives from the Republic of Korea, Japan, Europe and South America.


The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) says the tournament will take place one or two months before the U19 AFC Championship in Myanmar due to start in October 2014.


Vietnam expects to host the U19 ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Cup in August 2014 and this will be a real test for the national squad before flying to Myanmar for the AFC Championship.


At the recent U19 AFF Cup in Indonesia, Vietnam lost to hosts in the final match after a penalty shootout.
