According to the draw results, U23 Vietnam is in Group B with Laos and Cambodia. Group A includes hosts Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Brunei Darussalam, while Group C includes Thailand, Myanmar and Timor Leste. The teams will compete in a round-robin format, with the top three teams and the best second-placed team advancing to the semi-finals.

In the group stage, U23 Vietnam will face U23 Laos (July 19) and U23 Cambodia (July 22). Coach Kim Sang Sik will announce the list of 23 players before departure. With a favorable group and consecutive championship achievements in 2022 and 2023, U23 Vietnam is expected to continue to dominate this tournament.
