Thailand U23 are expected to be Vietnam U23's most anticipated opponents at the Gia Lai VTV Cup 2026 international friendly tournament.

The Thai side will arrive in Vietnam with a strong squad featuring several players who have already made an impression on the international stage.

Among the standout names are Paripan Wongsa and Jehhanafee Mamah, both of whom attracted attention with their performances at the 2026 Asian Games.

Striker Worawut Noisri is another player to watch. Born in 2005, he scored in Thailand U23's 5-1 victory over Hong Kong U23 (China) during the group stage of the 2026 Asian Games.

With his attacking ability and experience at U23 level, Worawut is expected to provide additional options for Thailand's forward line.

Thailand's defense also includes players who have gained experience in continental competitions, notably goalkeeper Sirassawut Wongruankham.

The Gia Lai VTV Cup 2026 international U23 friendly tournament will take place from November 10 to 14 at Pleiku Stadium in Gia Lai Province, featuring Thailand U23, Qatar U23, Singapore U23 and hosts Vietnam U23.

The four teams will compete in a single round-robin format to determine the final standings.

The champions will receive $100,000 in prize money, while the runners-up will earn $40,000 and the third-placed team $20,000.
