Nguyen Thanh Khoi, captain of Hoang Anh Gia Lai U19s, has been chosen as the Vietnamese representative in the ASIAN ELEVEN team for the JapaFunCup international friendly football match with the U-18 Tohoku selection team, set to take place at J-Village Stadium in Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture on June 22.
Nguyen Thanh Khoi
is the only Vietnamese player named in the ASIAN ELEVEN team.
The game will be held as part of "Asia in Resonance 2019”, a
celebration of cultural exchange between Southeast Asia and Japan, presented by
the Japan Foundation Asia Centre.
ASIAN ELEVEN is made up of 21 selected
U18 players from Southeast Asia, including one from Vietnam and two each from
Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines,
Singapore, Thailand and Timor Leste.
Vietnam’s Nguyen Thanh Khoi entered the
Hoang Anh Gia Lai – Arsenal JMG Academy in 2013 at the age of 12. After five
years of training, he demonstrated fine leadership qualities and was assigned
to wear the captain’s armband for Hoang Anh Gia Lai U19s whilst attending the
2019 National U19 Championship finals. Thanks to his impressive display, Thanh
Khoi has been called up for Vietnam’s national U-18 football team. Despite his
small physique, the midfielder is good at contesting for the ball, blocking and
reading the game.
The ASIAN ELEVEN team will be coached by
Takuma Koga from Myanmar Football Academy (Mandalay), while Hiroshi Teguramori,
JFA Supervisor of Regional Youth Directors, will lead the U18 Tohoku selection
team.
Initiated in 2014, the "ASIAN ELEVEN” football
exchange project, jointly launched by the Japan Foundation Asia Centre, the
Japan Football Association (JFA), and the Japan Professional Football League
(J. League), aims to create a higher level of "Asian football” together with
the people of the ASEAN through sharing knowledge and experience of Japan’s
football, and at the same time enabling nations to come together hand-in-hand
through football to foster relationships as friendly rivals.
