HO CHI MINH CITY, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) encouraged its national football team to win at least the silver medal at the upcoming 28th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Singapore this June, VFF said on its website on Friday.
According to VFF Chairman Le Hung Dung, VFF is sticking with its stance of supporting the young team, which might not be successful this year, but should be prepared to win in future SEA Games.
The federation has come up with a schedule to train the young players to win SEA Games gold during the next Games in 2017, said the VFF official.
Vietnam is considered one of the top football teams in the region, but has never won the SEA Games title. Its best result to date was winning the ASEAN Football Federation Cup in 2008, reported VFF.
