The team chose Ho Chi Minh City to be the place for this preparing period because of the weather here quite similar to Thailand – the host of the tournament. The training program at Korea helped the players recover a lot about the force. Besides that, the coaches also had a chance to check and evaluate the improvement of the team through 2 training matches with Yeungnam University ( with the draw 0-0) and Busan Transportation Cooperation (with the win 3-2).
