The opening stage of the 2025/26 LPBank V-League has yet to deliver a truly sharp impression. Prior to the break - which allowed the national U23 team to participate in the SEA Games and the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Cup - the season had yet to find its rhythm. Currently, a dozen V-League clubs have contributed players to the U23 national team, and many believe the team’s recent achievements can bring new energy to domestic football. After impressive performances in West Asia, several U23 players - including Dinh Bac, Trung Kien, Ly Duc, and Nhat Minh - are now seen as candidates for regular V-League action. But in a season that has so far lacked momentum, these rising stars may well be the shot of adrenaline Vietnamese football needs.
