According to Transfermarkt, the total value of U23 Vietnam’s squad participating in the tournament Asia U23 is only 2 43 million euros, of which striker Bui Vi Hao of Binh Duong is the highest rated with 200,000 euros.
Next is Dinh Bac with 175,000 euros. Players like Luong Duy Cuong Nguyen Ngoc Thang Khuat Van Khang Ho Van Cuong Nguyen Thai Son are among the group of players valued at 100,000 euros.
Calculating the value of Vietnam’s U23 squad is only equal to half that of U23 Indonesia (4 48 million euros). Quite surprisingly, the highest valued person of U23 Indonesia is Rizky Ridho with 400,000 euros. Meanwhile, naturalized players Ivar Jenner and Marselino Ferdinan ranked second with 300,000 euros.
In the U23 Asia tournament, the value of Vietnam’s U23 squad is only ranked above three teams, U23 Thailand U23 Malaysia and U23 Jordan. Meanwhile, Thailand U23 has a low squad value because it cannot summon the best stars. For example, they lost Suphanat who was valued at up to 700,000 euros.
Calculating the value of the “War Elephant” participating in the U23 Asia tournament is only 2 03 million euros. They are only slightly better than U23 Malaysia (1,98 million euros) and U23 Jordan (1,15 million euros).
Across the entire tournament, U23 Japan is the team with the highest squad value with 12,6 million euro. Ranked second is U23 Korea. In this tournament, neither Japan nor Korea could bring bright stars like Lee Kang In (22 million euros) and Takefusa Kubo (60 million euros) to Qatar. That greatly affects the strength of the two teams.
However, U23 Japan and U23 Korea are still considered bright candidates for the U23 Asian Championship. This is the tournament that determines the ticket to the 2024 Olympics. The top three teams will win direct tickets to Paris. The 4th ranked team will compete in the play-off against the African representative.
