SHB Da Nang have decided to withdraw from finals of the National U17 Football Championship 2022 due to a lack of funding to train young players.

Currently, the tournament’s organisers are selecting a team to replace U17 SHB Da Nang in an effort to ensure the number of 12 competing teams. Accordingly, the team with the best performances in the group of 13 teams that stopped in the qualifying rounds will replace U17 SHB Da Nang.

Previously, after the qualifying rounds, 12 outstanding teams had been selected for final rounds, namely PVF, Ha Noi, Song Lam Nghe An, Hue, Nam Dinh, Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Binh Phuoc , Phu Yen, Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Thap, Saigon and SHB Da Nang.
