Midfielder Dinh Xuan Tien is mentioned in the list of players worth watching at the 2023 AFC U20 Championship finals.

Dinh Xuan Tien is the most worth-watching player of Vietnam U20 at the 2022 AFC U20 Championship finals, according to an article on the AFC homepage.

“Dinh Xuan Tien will be one of the talented Vietnamese players who will surely shine at the 2023 AFC U20 Championship in Uzbekistan. The midfielder is playing for Song Lam Nghe An in the V-League and has scored three goals in the 2023 Uzbekistan AFC U20 Championship qualifiers, including a brace against Hong Kong U20,” the AFC website wrote.

At U20 Vietnam, Dinh Xuan Tien is considered a difficult factor to replace. This player did not even have a day to practice with the team in Hanoi because he was busy focusing on V-League, but coach Hoang Anh Tuan still decided to put Xuan Tien's name on the playing list.

Đinh Xuân Tiến (số 18) là nhân tố quan trọng ở tuyến giữa U20 Việt Nam.

Dinh Xuan Tien (number 18) is an important factor in the midfield of U20 Vietnam.

Dinh Xuan Tien is an outstanding product of the Song Lam Nghe An training center. At the age of 18, he was called up by coach Nguyen Huy Hoang to the SLNA first team to compete in the V-League 2021. However, the tournament was canceled midway due to COVID-19, so Xuan Tien had to wait until the next season to debut in the highest level of Vietnamese professional football.

Xuan Tien was then called up by coach Dinh The Nam to join the U22 Vietnam team to compete in the Southeast Asian U22 Championship. In the 7-0 victory over Singapore, Xuan Tien scored a beautiful goal, starting the journey of U22 Vietnam to the championship.

In the U20 Asian qualifiers, the Nghe An player also made his mark with 3 goals after 3 matches, most notably the goal that raised the score to 2-1 for U20 Vietnam against Indonesia. He became the most impressive player of U20 Vietnam in the 2023 U20 Asian qualifiers.

In the 2022 season, Xuan Tien was on the field in 16 matches, playing 1,063 minutes. Although he has not scored a goal, what he has shown is still remarkable. Xuan Tien's strengths are speed, endurance, decisive and accurate ball handling.

Besides Van Khang, Van Truong and Vi Hao, Xuan Tien will be the name that receives great expectations in the attack line of U20 Vietnam.

The first opponent of U20 Vietnam at the U20 Asian Cup is Australia. The match will take place at 5:00 p.m. on March 1.
