The competition has eight teams from Japan and Southeast Asian countries.

Viet Nam was drawn into Group A alongside Japan, Cambodia and Vissel Kobe FC. Group B includes Laos, Thailand, Myanmar and Sanfrecce Hiroshima.

The top teams from each group will compete for the title while the second-placed teams in each group will vie for third and fourth places.

Viet Nam will play Vissel Kobe and Cambodia on July 1 and Japan on July 2.

According to Dinh The Nam, the tournament is a good opportunity to select the best players for the Southeast Asian U16 Football Championship in July and the qualification round of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U16 Championship.
