A total of 30 players, called up from provinces and clubs nationwide, are taking part in the camp, which will run at the Vietnam youth football training centre in Tu Liem ward until April 9.

From April 10, the squad is scheduled to travel to Japan for an overseas training stint aimed at improving technical standards and gaining international match experience.
