Accordingly, instead of dividing 2 pounds, each table has 5-6 teams like previous SEA Games, at the 33th SEA Games, men’s football content can be divided into 3 tables, each with 3-4 teams U.22.

Mr. Kim wants to win the SEA Games 33
The method of dividing the SEA Games men’s football table can change big, Vietnamese football benefits?
Modern trends, Olympic learning?
Previously, with the method of dividing 2 pounds, each table 5 – 6 teams, each male football team attending the SEA Games will play 4-5 matches in the group stage. As for the proposed new table method, each table has 3-4 teams, each team participating in the SEA Games men’s football content only plays 2-3 matches in the group stage. This is the method of dividing the table that appears in football, in the Olympic periods, following the trend of players playing as few matches as possible.
Like a proposal to reduce the age of attending the SEA Games from U.23 to U.22 for players attending men’s football content, proposing the new table division method, will be by the Southeast Asian Sports Council. Meeting and decisions in the coming time. However, the voice of the host country SEA Games 33 is that Thailand always has a significant weight.
Reducing the number of matches for teams in the group stage, the first will reduce the number of procedures. For example, matches between teams in the regional group such as Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, with the last teams like Brunei or Timor Leste always ends with very high gap. The stronger the teams played the match against the weak opponents like this, the better. At the same time, reducing the number of matches of each team in the group stage will help the players save effort and avoid overload.
For U.22 players in Vietnam (the age expected to attend the 33 -year SEA Games 2025), the less match will help the players have more time to rest before the SEA Games, with more recovery time. Before the medal stage at the SEA Games. As for VFF and VPF, the U.22 Vietnam team plays less at the Southeast Asian Games, the arrangement of domestic tournaments will be more convenient.
In addition to changing the age, changing the formula for men’s football content SEA Games 33, the Thai Football Federation (FAT) also proposed to the SAT plan to change the location of football in general (including 4 Men’s football content, women’s football, male and female futsal). Accordingly, the outer round of football can take place outside Bangkok (expected in Songkhla province). However, in the medal stage, football will be moved to Bangkok. Particularly, the matches from the semi -finals of men’s football will take place on Rajamangala in the capital of the Golden Temple country.
