Vietnam national under-17 football team

The Vietnam national under-17 football team (), also known as National U-16–U-17 Selection Team (), represents Vietnam in football at an under-16 and under-17 age level and is controlled by Vietnam Football Federation, the governing body for football in Vietnam. They are currently coached by Cristiano Roland.

History The Vietnamese under-16 national team made their first international appearance in the 2000 AFC U-16 Championship as hosts. Led by Phạm Văn Quyến and Phan Như Thuật, the team finished as group runners-up in the group stage, and advanced to the semi-finals. There, they were defeated by Iran. In the third-place match to determine AFC's last representative for the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Championship, Vietnam suffered a 2–4 loss against Japan.

Vietnam won their first title in 2006, being crowned champions at the AFF U-17 Championship. They went on to win their second regional title in 2010.

In 2016, Vietnam passed the AFC U-16 Championship group stage for the second time, before being eliminated by Iran in the quarter-finals. A year later, Vietnam won the AFF U-17 Championship for the third time.

Under coach Cristiano Roland, Vietnam won their fourth AFF title in 2026. Later in the year, after finishing first in their group and qualified to the quarter-finals at the 2026 AFC U-17 Asian Cup, Vietnam gained their first ever qualification to the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
